They're also quiet and no combustion means no exhaust fumes.

  > They're also quiet As someone who lives near a busy road, I'm 100% all for them for this reason alone The boy-racers doing 2x the speed limit with their loud exhausts and poppin can go do one

    Agreed, though I was disheartened to find that we are now forcing electric cars to be loud because won't someone think of the pedestrians. There was a moment when EVs were quiet, and now there are some which drive by my house (residential neighborhood, so around 20 mph) that are louder than a well maintained ICEV would be at the same speed. The worst offenders are hybrids (looking at you, Toyota, with that unholy screech you make...)

      > louder than a well maintained ICEV would be at the same speed ffs why can't we have nice things?? The amount of 'eco' things that turn out worse...
