The fuel tanks are compartmentalized and have baffles to prevent sloshing. It's a solved problem.

Electric motors are not 98-99% efficient.

As you alluded to, battery weight is more than ICE weight. EVs are significantly heavier than ICEs.

I'm sure we can expect improvements along the lines you mentioned, but I seriously doubt it will be nearly enough.
