Gee, I wonder how they get the electricity to run these cars?

Apart from friction from the bearings, which is minute, Their is little difference, as long as the motor has been designed to operate at the selected rpm, it does not make much difference to the efficiency.
They usually choose a large rpm to get a wide torque curve, thus negating the need for a transmission, thus improving Efficiency.

I like that old green Porsche, because he was still using the transmission. Alot of these new electric cars talk about they're so efficient but still choose to run their motors at 14,000rpms.

Sorry, don't understand your statement.
RPM's don't correlate to efficiency? You can do whatever rpm make no difference. [within reason]

Yeah, if your running higher rpms, you have to be putting a larger load on the motor, drawing more amps, sucking more power.

amazing how a couple of backyard mechanics can bring an electric car into reality and the big 3 have no clue.
