I'm more excited about light electric vehicles. (Bikes, tuk-tuks, what-have-you).

In fairness, ICE engines have been able to provide too much horsepower for those use cases for a long time.

Cutting the motor weight probably matters more for smaller vehicles than bigger ones though.

That wasn't so much a criticism of the electric motor, which it sounds like they can scale down, as the Neanderthal part of my brain lighting up. Mongo like power to weight ratio.
