I have made a lot of EVs and i use 2 modified jet engines facing in opposite directions, controllable via pitch (a low power one for reversing, a high power one for regular driving).
I apply 3 main changes:
1) set the "max" setting to a very low level (about 0.15-0.20) to improve consumption and recreate the silent whir of electric motors. A lower number means better consumption and less noise. Also the "input" setting must be set to: Pitch*clamp01(GS<[number]) to limit the top speed.
2) I change the "powermultiplier" depending on how much power is needed.
3) I add a "throttleResponse" setting in the "Engine" section, allowing quicker or slower acceleration response
Some people proposed using FTs to make the engines work only when the wheels are touching the ground but i think it's a bit of a non issue unless you're making a rally car of some sort.
If you want to see this in action here's an EV platform i made
I hope this comment was useful.
@126 Well... i posted it yesterday but i realized last minute that there was a mistake that i didn't fix before posting.
Since pretty much nobody downloaded it i deleted the post so i could work on fixing It. It's already unlisted again and i will be posting it today at around 4 PM CET
@BadahhMuscleCar001 i would have done so either way, you got second place but i can't give you the prize and that's the problem. Is it okay if i give it to the next in line or do i just leave it. Sorry but I'm really confused as to why i can't go to your profile.
@BadahhMuscleCar001 hey man, i just checked and i can't access your profile page by clicking on your username. Is it ok if i grade your build but give the prize to the next in line? Is there a way i can fix this problem? Just wanted to ask before posting the results.
@BadahhMuscleCar001 i'll post them either today or tomorrow, i've been away for almost the entire month so i didn't have time to judge the builds properly.
@TheMouse basically it was a mess. Passed 5 years waiting for what turned out to be an unfinished, buggy early access that costed as much as the regular KSP without most of the features.
@Nyamomin yes it does include side mirros since i'm using the site's measurements to count which builds count or not.
But if the width Is like 1.6/1.7m with side mirros i can make and exception.
@BYardley i managed to find some information about the size and it unfortunately doesn't count. It's a 4 meters long and 1.8 meters wide car so it's more of a B segment Subcompact than a Microcar.

+1@overlord5453 "uhm actually it has a spoiler which is something airliners also have so it is an airliner" -🤓
For real though, i think i'll have to change my name some day since i kinda haven't built an airliner in like 2 years

That's cool, could you add a description with a bit of info about the car, so you can respect all of the rules.

sorry man but the car should have at least 20 parts to enter the challenge, so this is disqualified. You can try again, no worries.

+1@001 sure!
+1Disqualified: Doesn't reach the minimum part limit
+1@BYardley Bro is about to cook 🗣️🔥🔥‼️‼️
+1@MrCOPTY not a microcar, it's larger than the size limit i put and it's classified as a citycar.

Short answer: YES
