A MOTOR is a device with a single moving part comprised of some magnets and wires that converts electric potential (aka magic) into rotational kinetic energy.
An ENGINE uses a hundred or more synconized and balanced moving parts to convert chemical potential into heat and ultimately, through mechanical linkage, into rotational kinetic energy.
Yes, I'm simplifying, however, my point is this;
If you're gonna bash an electric vehicle, don't do your favorite gasser/diesel the disservice of calling it a motor. Those are ENGINES.
I'm done, sorry, just a pet peeve.
