A conventional electric car design possesses far fewer moving parts , making the overall drivetrain a lot more efficient when compared to your average ICE design. Couple this with the fact that you don't need any fossil fuels to power an EV, and you'll find that this newer technology is a lot more of a logical choice for new automotive designs. Of course, this puts the debate of which configuration is more enjoyable to the side, as EVs generally have a reputation for being dull and soulless.
