Answer 1

ICE, you press the pedal, gas go from gas line and gets ignited in piston chambers, blows up, causes piston to rotate slowly at first to faster, that rotation is transferred to the wheels through transmission and wheels turn

EV, you press pedal, electricity INSTANTANEOUSLY goes into electric motors turning the wheels
