********.
AFAIK those aren't normally electric.
The term 'fan belt' is the problem. All? cars still have the belt but
it drives the water pump, alternator, air-con and sometimes power
steering too, while the fan is always thermostatically-controlled
electric in 'normal' cars.
My Astra has an electric hydraulic steering pump.
Latest Astra doesn't even have a thermostat, there is a gate valve
controlled by the ECU directly.
I have an electric car.
No belts of any description.
No clutch, gearbox, exhaust, oil, oil filter, air filter, alternator,
starter motor either,
No range.
