An electric engine and transmission can do the same job as a gas engine or better, and the limitation is the power that is available.
Electric motors also don't require cylinders to operate or a camshaft. They require less surface contact between moving parts and probably require a lot less motor oil and may not need a transmission depending upon their circuitry and motor design.
