Often these problems are solved through complexity. ICEs have very limited ranges of torque efficiency, so we work around them using a complex transmission. Oth

Often these problems are solved through complexity. ICEs have very limited ranges of torque efficiency, so we work around them using a complex transmission. Other complexity eliminated by an electric vehicle: induction & emissions systems, environmental controls, ECU/fuel control & associated sensor networks, NVH suppression, fuel storage & delivery, belt-driven accessories (inverter, A/C, power steering).
