The crazy thing is, this difference has existed for nearly 200 years. Electric motors were invented well before combustion motors. Combustion motors were considered a joke when they began. The only reason they ever became dominant is that Rockefeller flooded the world with cheap oil, to power them. And all the complexity and they still rarely get to even 40% efficiency, most often 30. Loud, inefficient, filthy, complicated, gutless. Complete rubbish. And then you stil haven’t even connected them to the wheels, which run in a completely different direction, creating even more inefficiencies and mechanical stresses.
