Low noise levels of BEV electric cars - an advantage or disadvantage?

Abstract

Everything indicates that the future of the automotive market is related to the use of electric motors. It is related to, among others with the introduction of increasing restrictions on CO2 emissions and noise. In addition, the fuel market itself (mining and processing) has major limitations not only ecological, but above all economical and political. Supplying cars exclusively from batteries is currently a strong development trend propagated almost by all major manufacturers. One of the researched aspects of vehicles introduced to the market is the issue of noise emission, whose emission has both positive and negative effects on road traffic.
