    The other thing I wonder and one which isn’t discussed a lot is road accidents, especially involving pedestrians. A lot of EV owners seem to push the acceleration capabilities of these vehicles as a really positive aspect and combine that with increased weight and I can’t help but feel that fatalities are going to increase due to this.

    More likely to have an accident in the supermarket car park where shoppers aren’t paying attention, so they don’t ‘hear’ the near silent EV cars…??‍♂️

    Kind regards
