It just occurred to me the "green" cars cant be heard only when they are among ICE vehicles. So the latter are the problem. In a quiet park one can hear a bike approaching from miles away. I suggest as a temporary measure they equip EVs with cow bells.

 
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.
