It's funny but people actually complain that EVs are noisy because without the droning white noise of ICE you end up hearing everything else going on.

Its like 100F outside every day here these days. I've had so many people say "wait I thought you said its electric why can I still hear it?" when its just the AC running.

Like, yeah, its 100F outside, the condenser coil still has a fan on it and is trying to reject a lot of heat and there's still a compressor churning away.
