We have a hybrid that is certainly very quiet compared to any ICE car, but I haven’t yet skittled anyone in a car park. Last year we bought an Outlander plug-in hybrid that on electric mode is even quieter, but it has a default sound alert system at low speed that presumably is designed to help people hear it coming. I do turn it off sometimes, especially when driving with the windows down, as the quietness and efficiency of the vehicle is something that appeals to me (However, I do also appreciate the sound of raw power that my son’s V8 commodore makes!)
