This is a non-intuitive thing about electric motors - they do more with the same input compared to motors that burn stuff to keep going, so they need less of an input.

Electric motors are so much more efficient that internal combustion engines that even on fossil fuel power they still cut emissions substantially. Run them on 100% renewable power & the impact is even greater. Switching to renewables saves money, improves health, environment & climate. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋
