The main benefit of an electric oil pump is that you can start it
before starting the IC engine so reducing wear to almost nil.

And engine wear is a problem these days? Most cars go to the scrapyard on
their original engine.


No need to rest on laurels. Engines could normally last a million
miles.
Most wear occurs on startup. Wear reduces efficiency.

But electric motors could last longer than that.
The batteries are the problem.
