FWIW I was taught in the late 1960s at Imperial College, London how much better electric motors are than IC engines for transport.
Simple balanced quiet no need of clutch and a wide operating speed band so no need for a multi ratio transmission.
The problem is batteries.
Anyway as a petrol head who only studied engineering at imperial in the hope of getting a job in Formula 1 I ignored the lesson.
Hybrids showed me how good electric motors are and I bought my first 17 years ago. I am now running in a plug in hybrid which goes far enough on a charge for my local “motoring” to be all electric.
I ordered an EV last July and am still waiting for its delivery.
I ordered the EV because it was so good to drive. Yes I’ll miss the V8 sound sometimes but mostly the silence and instant throttle response will be much, much better
