If the sounds are too different from existing mental models, they won't be associated with oncoming traffic?

It will probably sound enough out-of-place to get attention.
But it doesn't help with the stigma of electric cars being toylike.
Go with something menacing, like the sound a TIE Fighter makes. Attention getting, futuristic, and you won't feel like you're riding around on Scooty-Puff Jr.
