minus-square@Mr_BlottlinkEnglish4•1 year agoSo the motor on a fuel based car is the prime mover, but the battery on an electric car is the prime mover, rather than the motor? I’m guessing then that you would call the tyres the terrestrial contact devices? 😂
minus-squareShadowRamlinkfedilink5•edit-21 year agoYes. The primary source of power. It’s not like I’m making shit up out of thin air. This is typical nomenclature for safety systems.
