I have a hybrid Prius (not a full EV) and it actually has two separate coolant reservoirs, one for the gas engine and one for the electric motor, and they both use the same kind of coolant.
yes an electric motor has an efficiency of around 90%(thats what my engeneering teacher told us)(google tells me 64%) means that is the percentage of how much energy is converted to work the rest of that is emmited as heat. a good rule of thumb is everywere where you have mechanikal work you have frction and friction means heat
I’m not a car person, so excuse my lack of knowledge. But do electric cars have/need cooling liquid? Just wondering

Yes, almost all do. Except for the nissan leaf.
