Electric motors have higher efficiency rates compared to internal combustion engines, which waste a significant amount of energy as heat. EVs convert a higher percentage of electrical energy from the battery into actual propulsion, resulting in less energy waste. This comparison does not include all the factors about eco-friendliness.
