The European Union forces July 1 to make all electric cars noise at speeds below 20 km / h.
According New Atlas article, από την 1η Ιουλίου, όλα τα ηλεκτρικά οχήματα με τέσσερις ή περισσότερους τροχούς που κινούνται στην Ευρωπαική Ένωση θα πρέπει να εκπέμπουν θόρυβο τουλάχιστον 56 ντεσιμπέλ, εάν "τρέχουν" με 20 χλμ/ώρα ή λιγότερο.
This directive has to do with safety, as electric cars don't make noise from the engines on the wheels, compared to cars with an internal combustion engine, and are not easily noticed by pedestrians. Ensuring that pedestrians can hear oncoming cars increases the safety of the visually impaired, as well as those who have the bad habit of walking down the road constantly looking at the smartphone their.
Η European Union legislation απαιτεί τα ηλεκτρικά αυτοκίνητα να εκπέμπουν τεχνητά ήχους. Θα πρέπει μάλιστα να τους συνδυάσουν με ένα "σύστημα ακουστικού συναγερμού οχήματος", με το οποίο θα αυξάνεται ή θα μειώνεται ο ήχος, υποδεικνύοντας εάν το όχημα επιταχύνει ή επιβραδύνει. Οι ήχοι αυτοί δεν θα είναι ιδιαίτερα θορυβώδες, καθώς τα 56db αφορά το επίπεδο θορύβου που κάνει ένα οικιακό ψυγείο, είναι όμως ικανά να σας προειδοποιούν ότι ένα car is near you.
But there is an interesting detail that is missing from the new legislation: there is no reference to what the sound should be like. This opens up a whole world of possibilities. Crazy sounds from animals like hen or cow; Or maybe sounds same as those of Formula 1 that will mimic the sounds of a racing car; How about the anthem of Panathinaikos or Olympiakos or AEK or PAOK? (Depending on which city you move to).
Unfortunately, car manufacturers seem to have no sense of humor and want to make things a little safer. They work for years and most electric cars already have artificial sounds. Compared to combustion engines, a large number of electric cars (EVs) use sounds with an excellent mechanical feel.
Although something is going to change in choice the sound, such as the new one electric Nissan car, the Leaf, is getting a new futuristic sound, as you can see in the video above, we are still a long way from the sounds used by Marvel in their movies.
