> 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...)
