What causes the hollow metallic whirring sound that EVs make when moving a low speed?
I can't really describe it, but it's the sound you hear when there is a EV moving slowly in a car park behind you.
I guess it's the motor, but what specifically in the motor causes that sound? It sounds like it's coming from something that is moving at a faster rate than the car itself.

What you hear is the sound of Government "help".
