Ask HN: What is the electric car equivalent of a loud gas-powered car?
That is, for someone who likes their gas-powered car really loud, what sort of electric-car might appeal to them?

- java-man 4y agoEV emitting specific sound at low speed should be mandatory, for the sake of blind pedestrians and children (and everyone else, for that matter).
- jaclaz 4y agoIt is actually mandatory (at low speeds) with the usual differences by countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_warning_sounds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_warning_sound... but OP asked about engine sound.
- josefresco 4y agoThe new Dodge Charger EV will (probably) have a fake exhaust sound. Anecdotally I can always hear Toyota's EV's better than most, especially when backing up.
