********.

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 chance of diy motor repair .....
