Possibly because it wasn't worth the ink.

The game provides no specific detail on electric plants. We have some funky sounding modifications for them that have pseudo scientific names, and some fluff, but nothing that you could write an academic paper with.

They are recharged but we are not told much about the recharge process other than what it costs per PF. We don't know if they are AC, DC. We are told about capacitors, but are they an intermediate store or the main store. In truth it is because it is not important.

Why for instance do bikes and cars use plants different electric plants, but can use the same gas plants?

Why do we need any more regarding liquid fueled vehicles? Who cares if it is Gasoline, Ethanol or whatever. Many cars are now multi-fuel and can apparently take 85% ethanol by default. Doubtless there are some cost differences but that is in the weeds.

There are more fundamental things to sort out first, e.g. do gas plants drive the wheels direct or are they electricity generators that power electric wheel motors. I have seen conflicting interpretations in the official publications. I suspect that it was considered irrelevant.

It's Car Wars, not Top Gear.
