An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

it’s super convenient to never go to a gas station again, and to wake up to a full tank

But, to make that possible, you basically have to have a "gas station" at home. If you own your own house you can modify it to install a charging spot. If you rent, you might not have that option.
