Electric motors are already ~90% efficient and far more reliable than IC engines, so there's not much gain to be had there. Advances would be more likely to come in the form of reduced weight (better magnets for PM motors, e.g.) and durability. After all, it's not like we haven't been using electric motors for roughly the same amount of time as we have IC engines. Heck, most of us own way more electric motors than IC -- kitchen appliances, HVAC, computer drive motors, laundry equipment. Even the car usually has a dozen or two electric motors in it compared to one IC engine. :-) |
