Hell yes. I look forward to the day when someone decides to accelarate quickly while driving past my house and I don't have to hear it from my bedroom.
That is probably caused by exhaust modifications. People will find some other way to display their antisocial behaviors once electric cars become the norm.
I want to desperately change my low speed noisemaker in my Bolt to the Jetsons car sound.
Impressive!
CleanTechnica sounds better than the ArseTechnica I'm used to.
And gas is still >$3 / gallon.
Is that considered a lot or a little in the USA? As a European that sounds insanely cheap.
It is cheap by international standards, yes. Prices were closer to $4 / gallon recently. I think most Americans would say that it is expensive closer to $4 and cheap around $3.
I expressed it poorly but my point is that EVs should decrease demand for gasoline which should drive the price down. And of course that is not happening because they're manipulating supply.
Wow, that is very high.
So this is starting to look like the US will be the laggard. USA - nation of luddites? 😅
