This gasoline powered four cylinder vehicle is effectively identical to the electric powered vehicle at 20 feet.
Another example of the morons in society directing policy for the masses.

It's a tough call. One day I had just pulled into a parking spot in the lot at a large hardware store. I was looking for something in the back seat and at one point I knelt down to look on the floor. All of a sudden, the Prius next to me started silently pulling away. I freaked out, not knowing for sure where my foot was in relation to his tires. I emerged unharmed but it was not a pleasant experience.
