I get what you're saying though. The silence of an EV, unless the driver has it in tyre shredding mode, is a concern. Thought our former chums in the EU were going to bring in an audio warning for speeds lower that a certain threshold?



All EV's have to have a pedestrian warning noise by law that's on up to 12mph, The pedestrian warning sound on the MG ZS EV is really quiet & you really need to listen for it.
