Just popping in and wondering out load why electric cars are always quiet when infact i've spent my life around rather noisy plug in drills, R/C cars, and other electrically powered stuff. I much prefer the sound of a powerplant to the hateful sound of tire and wind noise, but seeing as all the electric cars made thus far have had silent engines i see them all as unforgivably bland and hopeless.
What I'm wondering is if the silence is something thats been engineered in, or if for some weird reason really large and powerful electric motors don't make noise (that 2nd idea doesn't make sense to me) I wouldn't mind electric power if from in the cabin it sounded like a really angry power-drill, but you don't even get that, you get nothing.
