Looking ahead, the IEA says the number of electric cars, buses, vans and heavy trucks on roads – its projection does not include two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles – is expected to hit 145 million by 2030.

He told CNBC via email that testing conducted by the company had "found AVAS to be quite effective" but went on to add that if a pedestrian wasn't familiar with the noise, "they may not automatically associate it with the presence of an approaching vehicle."

A recent report from the International Energy Agency stated roughly 3 million new electric cars were registered last year, a record amount and a 41% rise compared to 2019.
