I'd like to have an EV for the sake of having less noise while driving. Adding noise level to the equasion changes the picture a lot.
I have tinnitus and a high noise level makes my ears ring harder than before, and that may last for days on end. I would even drive slow if it costs me more fuel than going fast.

I've taped my door and upper boot lid seams this weekend with 3M foam tape, hope that helps reduce both noise and fuel usage. But I'm saving for an EV
