Method and Apparatus for Emulating an Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle Audio Experience in an Electric Vehicle

Abstract

A method and apparatus enables modifying the electronic controls of EVs to mimic the sensory experience of driving a performance ICE car. The method and apparatus creates a “virtual cockpit” with audio enhancement with sounds that mimic those of an ICE car. By downloading and implementing the method and apparatus, one may replicate, for example, the vehicle dynamics, performance horsepower sound, cabin sound, subtle cabin vibrations, exterior wind sound, and audio cues that may be controlled via a graphical user interface. These simulations replicate the various sounds of an ICE vehicle to mimic the audio experience of driving an ICE performance car of choice.
