What Should EVs Sound Like?
- LinuxBender 5y agoNo noise please. Noise pollution from ICE cars can be bad enough. [1] Playing an uncoordinated orchestra of random noises from EV's would be funny for about 5 minutes and annoying after 10 minutes.

- uejfiweun 5y agoI had an Audi E-tron drive by me the other day and it absolutely sounded like the future. I'd be totally fine if they standardized that as the go-to sound for EVs. Now of course until the batteries get way better there's no chance I buy an EV.
- LinuxBender 5y agoUnsure if this would meet your criteria of way better, but in a few years at least 3 companies will be mass producing 3D printed solid state batteries that have about 60% the weight of their current size counterpart, about double the capacity and a much higher C rating. That should double the range of current EV's. The only two things holding me back are the lack of EV truck options and the lack of off-menu options to remove remote telemetry but that isn't strictly an EV issue. I would not mind an EV equiv to a Ford F550 Larime provided it also lacked network connectivity. It also needs to operate in -45F ambient temperature and be more than able to push a lot of snow but people here at HN have told me that cold isn't an issue.
