There are many benefits to electric cars, but here's one you may not have thought of yet--they might save you from getting attacked by small but vicious dogs in your quest for true love.

In a Valentine's Day film by Renault from France, the silent benefits of electric vehicles are emphasized in a cute, animated story about a lovestruck postman. After falling for a woman on his delivery round, his efforts to see her again are constantly thwarted by her over-protective pet pooch, who's hyper-alert to the noisy sound of his van. The pup gets more and more possessive and it seems it will be impossible to get anywhere near his crush--until one day he gets the keys to a Renault Kangoo Z.E.
