In other news: water linked to wetness. EVs are so much more pleasant to be around for both acoustic and particulate emissions. Anyone who's dined outdoors next to a busy car intersection in an ICE-centric location knows this.
And it is easily 10x worse to me in places that have a lax approach to auto emissions and safety. Where I live now there are zero safety or emissions inspections for auto vehicles (zero!) and it feels like every tenth car going by on the major roadways has an absurdly loud modified or damaged exhaust system. I yearn for the day I can eat outside at the restaurants in my neighborhood without that disturbance. At the current rate of social change in this US state I will probably be very old, or dead before then.
