    Mike can talk sense from time to time.

    One thing that puzzles me in all this is the sound, or lack of.
    Surely EV’s silent running is dangerous. I’ve seen it mentioned from time to time but isn’t this really important? As manufacturers bring out more & more sophisticated safety features, the fact that a silent two ton vehicle can be mowing us all down seems to be up there.
    Road noise from the tyres is not really enough. I’ve no idea what the solution is but it needs to be addressed. Maybe a speaker system to pipe out a selective engine sound? Some manufacturers do this for inside the cabin! I can then sound like an old F1 car in a Leaf. ??

    ? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
