Anyone can argue ICE vs EV all night long but there's only 1 metric I care about, in favor of EV:

When I am going to take my son to school, he doesn't have to smell the gas and the fumes from the exhaust in the garage.

I have another one: _I_ don't have to smell your gas and fumes when I bike behind you!

Most of the exhaust fumes your son smells near school is going to come from other people's cars though.

Very true, to the point that I am considering asking the city council to forbid ICE in a 1-km radius around places where children regularly use the sidewalks.

Even if the idea doesn't outright gain traction, enough insistence will shift the overton window.

I did daily (old station wagon in the rear facing seat), as well as school buses. Kindof liked the smell in moderation as a kid.

Still in favor of EVs, just a curiosity that this is so negative for you.

I suspect OP is considering health effects, not enjoyment.

Plenty of people like cigarettes and opium too, that doesn't mean you want your kid exposed to the smoke.

I live in Oslo, Norway, and it's insane how much more pleasant parking garages have become to use in the last 10 years.

How long are you running the car in your garage? A minute of idling isn't going to cause any problems.
