My experience says otherwise. Our neighborhood is getting more EVs regularly, and you can really tell the difference. If a regular car is driving by my house and an EV is a block behind them, guess which one I can hear? The EV. And Hybrid Toyota Highlanders and RAV4s are the worst, though a Bolt isn't exactly quiet.
- jgwil2 5y agoMight be a lifetime of tuning out ICE vehicles is partially to blame?
- asdff 5y agoRoad noise sounds the same from an ICE or an EV for the same weight car in my experience, provided its not something old or sporty with a throaty exhaust. A new economy car just petering along you aren't going to hear any engine unless you step on the throttle.
