Bad writing/editing.

Electric busses/autos don’t have ‘engines’ — they are propelled by motors.

Thanks for posting.

It's funny how we usually refer to an electric propulsion device as a "motor" and a gas or diesel propulsion device as an "engine", although sometime the things in cars are known as "motors".
