technically the combustion engine is noticably more powerful, but very hard to maintain properly. electrical engines are more expensive due to the use of tin, but can be as effective in groups of 2 or 3 and are also maintenance free as they only need electrical powere e.g. from a solar array.

combustion engines however excel at the task of generating electrical engine via engine generators as they do not use electricity and can produce large amounts of EU providing a viable power source for eletricly powered machines from IC2
