The electric drive could possibly simplify the drivetrain.

The common chassis automotive test rig (It had electric drive)was no simplification of the drive train. The mechanical parts worked ok, it was the damn software that kept sidelining the vehicle.

Well that just exposes my Mechanical engineering brain for all to see. I would never think to worry about lines of code in a drivetrain. Gears, motors, etc. not 1s & 0s are what I'm thinking about most of the time.
