- alamortsubite 4y agoStreets where cars are going under 25 mph, absolutely! It's a huge win in urban areas where speed limits are set appropriately and drivers are respectful of those limits. But much faster than that, EVs are as loud as ICE cars (as they come from the factory). At that point, all you really hear is rolling resistance and drag.
