Car is also featured on Emerze Elektro website. Is that the name you're looking for ?

[Oguerrerob]

That's the one

[D-type]

I'm puzzled.  Any electric engine, whether brushless or conventional, is a rotary engine and not a reciprocating engine.  So how can it utilise the engine block from a petrol engine?  Can anyone explain please?
