A tiny, un-American second horn is the answer. What? OK, so we've head the many benefits of electric vehicles — [50%] lower operating costs, faster acceleration than Ferraris, [75%] reduction in greenhouse gases, etc. But here's a new one: They are super quiet. With such little noise, people often walk in front of them in parking lots. Instead of honking with a normal horn that may result in bleeding eardrums, some come with diplomatic, peace-loving horns that say, "Hello good fellow, my deepest apologies, but I weigh several thousand pounds and may possibly interfere with your walking path. Might we agree to go separate ways?" [Imagine the British accent, which I'm 100% making up.] Thanks to Barry Cinnamon's solar podcast for this insight.
