American AI is usually American Airlines, and usually appears because of a baggage fee paid at the airport, or a purchase made during a flight. posted 09/11/2012 Helpful (4)
Electric motors are in general, a lot more efficient that internal combustion engines. An average combustion engine has about 18â20%. A formula one engine, has about 50% of an efficiency.
Electric cars also have more torque starting up than equivalent combustion cars. If want to get the same acceleration, you would need a bigger combustion engine which has less efficiency. Another consideration, is that an electric motor is relatively efficient over all speeds. (My EV actually has just one gear.)
