Best Answer

Since Electric Motors are not 100%, you could say that they produce "waste". I believe that the majority of that "waste" would be in the form of heat. Part of that heat is lost in the windings and is proportional to the square of the current, and part of it would be friction loss in the bearings. Electric motors are typically better than 90% efficient.
