The 2020 Corvette owners manual is now available for download:

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Looking at the fuse diagram on page 244:

Fuse 7: Power sounder module/Pedestrian friendly alert function

Fuse 12: Lithium ion battery module

The pedestrian alert function is used by EVs to produce a low level sound so pedestrians know the vehicle is near by. It is either a hybrid with an EV mode, or full EV.

Maybe they’ll make a special option called the “Cars and Coffee kit” so that if you spin out after leaving C&C, a noise is emitted and   expectators can run away.

Meh, more of a mustang thing I guess.

Does the cor vette use a standard car battery or a lithium unit like is optional on 911's?

I don’t think so. Nothing mentioned in the manual.

more and more cars are going to lithium batters that are non-EV/hybrid but the pedestrian sounder is pretty m u ch non disputable

Just to be sure. Fuse 34 in the Chevy Bolt EV is labeled the same and is used for its pedestrian alert sound.

Wasn’t it Jalopnik that did a segment about space in the front end for an AWD system? Maybe it’s space for battery/motor components? Maybe E-AWD which seems to be gaining traction with hybrid vehicles.

The huge center tunnel is pretty much empty on the current car. Its assumed a battery will go there.
