Why do cars use internal combustion engines rather than external combustion engines?

The term "Internal combustion" means the burning, or combustion of the fuel/air is detonated in an enclosed cylinder under compression, driving piston down. If the combustion was external, there would simply be an explosion in the air that produces no power.

The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.

Do electric cars have engines, and if so, how do they differ from traditional combustion engines in terms of performance and maintenance?

Electric cars do not have traditional combustion engines. Instead, they have electric motors that are powered by batteries. Electric motors are simpler, have fewer moving parts, and require less maintenance compared to combustion engines. They also provide instant torque for better performance and are more energy-efficient.
