As a separate item I am also convinced that we need more noise from EVs as a matter of pedestrian safety. There should be some sort of sound emitter that works up to any urban maximum speed, say 70 kph, and not that annoying hair drier whine either
Even with the current rules they are too quiet. It should be made law that retro fitting is required and subject to MOT inspection.
This comes from someone who nearly finished under an EV the other day while stepping aside to pass a parked car on a narrow lane.
