Just what I always wanted in an EV - a guttural roar. :-( Eh, maybe I'm just a grandpa, but ... no thanks. If I want that kind of racket, I'll go the race track. When the glasspack guys roll up, I roll up ... the windows. (Not that I want to start any scraps with the bike riders who think that "loud pipes save lives," but yipe, I jump every time one of those loud bikes blasts past me. Some day I'm afraid I'll jerk the wheel and lose control.) Back to the subject at hand. Noise pollution aside, this is no EV. Though they claim it's a PIH, the description suggests that it never runs solely on electric power. Just as the Prius and other fuel-only "hybrids" are, it's really an ICEV with electric supercharging. > That´s a feeling I would like to have someday! Welcome to it. Please, take it far away.
