I think the real problem is trying to make an electric vehicle work like one that has an internal combustion engine.

It MAY eventually be possible but there will need to be a major breakthrough in the way electricity is used and stored to get there.

And that still has not happened even though nutters claim it to be so.

I would say the problem is storage, not how electricity is used. In a vehicle sized motor 50~100 Hp, 95% efficiency is a quality industrial motor commonly manufactured.

Storage issues include charge time and efficiency.
