-known machine in industry and
continues to evolve even today. However,
the technology behind it remains
largely unchanged. As a highly ecient
machine, the electromotor signicantly
outperforms combustion engines.

a maximum eciency of around %,
electric motors routinely reach double this
eciency, allowing them to make optimal
use of the energy dedicated to powering
the vehicle.
