I didn't see that coming.
😂 in my experience, if they are silent they are hardly moving. It’s not the engine I am hearing on ICE cars. Mostly tires 🛞
Lithium ion vehicles are 1,000 lb heavier, and produce significantly greater dust due to the tires dragging that extra weight.
I would have imagined this is louder than a 1,000 lb lighter ICE vehicle.
Generally I find the sound of hybrids and electrics are drowned out by ambient noise and the engine sound of ICEs. Idk what the first guy is talkin about, but engines make noise even if they aren’t “loud”, and that adds up especially in city atmosphere. Some hybrid you can hear whirring but some are very silent.
