Just look at the beautiful engineering of electric motors. Simple, super efficient, incredibly powerful. And how they’re getting even smaller and more powerful over time. Michael Faraday invented them in 1821, they’re now over 200 years old. Not much changes in the design because the principles are so simple and elegant. We had 100 years of the loud, filthy, inefficient combustion rubbish the Italians and Germans invented and the Americans and Saudis fuelled with their subsidised cheap oil. Let’s go back to the original and best motors. Silent, effortless, clean mega-grunt.
