Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Unreal... I doubt this will ever make it to market. Seems like patent CYA.

Meanwhile, granted I live in a pretty politically "blue" part of the USA where electric vehicle acceptance is probably near peak in comparison to the American average, but there are a LOT of people whizzing around the streets on electric ~~bikes~~ motorcycles these days ... pretty sure the "I'll only buy electric if it sounds like internal combustion" market segment simply doesn't exist, or if it does, is microscopic at best.

Hyundai already makes fake engine noise in the Ioniq 5N. It even simulates gear shifting. From what I've seen in videos it's rather convincing, and fun if your a petrol head.
