Then you also need to take into account the latest news from Japan on Electric cars .
Are you ready for this
as of Now All electric cars that are produced in Japan
must be fitted with external speakers , that produce a sound of what ever
ie running water , Chirpping Birds etc
so people can hear the cars coming
This is due to ,the many pedestrian deaths cuased by electric cars , been seen and not heard
and people steping out in front of them

I read an article last year saying that for such a load to be added to our power grid we would have to go back to load shedding and electric cars would be one of the items that would be shed. I’ll try to dig up the article some time to night.

I do have a link that might help someone visualize the power grid.

I'll take mine with a recording of an F1 car at full song. That should get their attention.
