The title text is relating electric vehicles to electric instruments, which are contrasted with acoustic guitars. In the case of guitars, this doesn't refer to how they're powered, but how their sound is transmitted from the strings and amplified. There's no such thing as an acoustic vehicle, though sound can be used to generate propulsion on a small scalein a variety of ways.
Though it is not their intended use, motorised vehicles can be used as music instruments. Composer Ryoji Ikeda has composed a symphony for 100 thermal (acoustic) cars. Alternatively, electric vehicle sound must be designed (like an electric instrument sound) so that it is less quiet, thus safer on the road. In some cases, electric vehicle sounds are designed by renowned composers.

How's the transcript, guys? --Utdtutyabthsc (talk) 03:41, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Heck if i know 216.25.182.141 03:46, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
idk man, most cars I've encountered sound pretty acoustic to me. EVs are quieter though since they lack combustion engines 137.25.230.78 04:00, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
Just added a real life cars-as-instruments section, and to prove I'm human I must select photos with cars. It didn't tell me if I should pick the acoustic ones though, I'm confused. 78.244.70.135 08:11, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Didn't it give you the option to use an audio version of the captcha? 82.13.184.33 09:37, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
You know, it is possible to run out of charge while you're driving. Then you have to figure out how to move your car or recharge it when there aren't any sources of electricity handy or convenient. Dogman15 (talk) 09:39, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- That's hardly a unique problem, though - the same is also true of gas-powered cars (or any other fuel you care to mention, for that matter). 82.13.184.33 10:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
