In addition to the things stated, electric motors and generators can become much more efficient.

Aren't they already 95% efficent. Not to much room for improvement.

More amps - your motor is going to melt down. More copper - your motor is going to be very big.

With superconducting coil, you could make a very small but infinitely powerful electric motor.
