Adver-plates . . . sell time on a short audio loop that plays every time the car is in EV mode. The possibilities are endless, make up your own.

If there is not an advertiser around, my favorites from Monty Python:

"Bring out your DEAF! <boom> Bring out your DEAF! <boom>"
"Knights Who Say Ni! Or Ping! Or Neee-worn! Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!!"
"Loverly Spam, wonderful spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam."
"Hello Polly! I've got a nice cuttlefish for you when you wake up, Polly Parrot!"
"It's not pining, it's passed on. This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be."

Use a marine waterproof speaker, $30, with a small frame attached to the front bumper. Run the wires back to a 120W speaker and an MP-3 player. Attach the license plate to the front and an EV trigger for MP-3 player:

Dalek voice, "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"
K9 voice, "Affirmative Doctor!"

Looks like we're thinking similarly. Oh no
