Gonna show my Redneck ways. Beside range. Electric cars have another problem. They are silent. I'm old, and from the time cars go OOOOMAAAOOOWW. I love to hear a good V8 with Pacemakers wind out.
My truck is a OOOMAAAWWOOO. truck. It sounds great winding thru the gears. I only wish there was a place I could take it, and let it wind thru all of them. But alas. Even on the highest speed limit interstate. By the time it winds it's way part way thru 3rd. I'm out of speedlimit, and still got 3 1/2 gears to go.
Yah. I remember fondly the sound of my Trans Am 400 with tuned exhaust. Sweet. Both our EV's by law project an artificial sound out the front to warn passengers. It cuts out at 30 KMH. I wonder if I could substitute that with a digital reproduction of that old TA. Hmmmm.
