Gears!

ICE cars do have gears which allow them to go faster while the engine isn’t working faster (and harder)

EV cars don’t have gears. Some were talking about adding some for highway.

Just imagine doing bicycle without gear to represent an EV car. You may be fine going 10km/h (your sweet spot) but going faster will be harder for you for little more gain.
