Reg Hardware have published a review of the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive e-car. 'Behind the wheel it's only the noise - or rather the lack of it - and the absence of gear changes that gives away the ED's motive power. Under hard acceleration, the brushless motors emits the same distant turbine-like whine as Mitsubishi's iMiEV and Nissan's Leaf. It's not an unpleasant sound. That near silence can be a bit of an issue in car parks and built-up areas - the number of idiot pedestrians who stepped out in front of me over the course of a week beggared belief. Forget fitting electric cars with an audible means of approach, we need to start running these buffoons over in the interests of Darwinian selection.'
