Good lord. One of the main things about EVs that I like is how quiet they are. They could put a noise maker on them for safety reason no problem, but the one on the Charger is way too loud.
Reminds me of those stupid kits you can get online to make your plain old bike or ebike sound like a motocycle. So stupid.
Under 40km/hr, a small noise makes sense, over that the tyres make enough noise
Ts not just how quiet EVs are, but the combination of massive torque and silence makes acceleration seem effortless. My car will pull away from almost any other car I encounter, just taking it easy, while they wheeze and rattle and whine and struggle to get up to speed.
I recently had to drive a gasoline car and it was sad how much effort it seemed to be putting into some minor acceleration. I’m starting to think of these vehicles similarly to steam engines or steampunk creations. It’s fascinating how they achieved such complexity back then, all those gears and clanging metal parts, and they’re well suited for a museum
