Engine and motor are synonyms. Broadly speaking, newer technology gets called motor to differentiate it from older technology.
See steam engine. Motor car. Etc.
And yeah, electric motors have fuck all to go wrong. Love my EV.

electric motors have fuck all to go wrong. Tesla motors are infamous for burning out rotor bearings, coolant leaks and leaking coolant into electronics.
