An electrical motor rotates in a SMOOTH continuous CIRCLE. An internal combustion engine is a RECIPROCATING engine that uses difficult-to-time EXPLOSIONS started by a spark plug to send a friction-producing PISTON moving rapidly downward, then stopping and reversing before being transformed into rotary motion by a friction-producing crankshaft. All that mess then sends energy to a flywheel and a transmission because the IC Engine is only moderately efficient within a small RPM range. An IC engine needs 2 types of oil and associated oil pumps to lessen the friction
and a heat exchanging radiator to keep the whole mess cool.
A vehicle's electrical motor uses about 1/3 of the parts that an internal combustion engine needs. Bottom line.......a simple E-vehicle engine design is better, more efficient, and much more reliable than the complex IC engine design.
