    That’s what i was thinking. EVs don’t need gearing, right? They have one gear? On that note, EV’s then wouldn’t have transmission issues. That’d be nice.

    The beauty about an electric motor backed by a manual transmission is the ability to drive it like a manual and row through the gears, or simply put it in a gear and just drive. You don't even need the clutch to start. EV's are starting to have gears to improve their efficiency and range. Not much different than a gas engine really.

    Interesting thing about EV is the linear torque curve... really its a line not a curve. The vehicles I work on at work are electric drive and have limiters from a stand still, otherwise they will break tires loose, or destroy the diffentials and driveshafts. And these are 13 ton axles with dual rear wheels.

    It seems like a no brainer that having a transmission would increase the efficiency of a motor. It’s just all the hipsters out there want single speed/fixed gear cars like their bikes. o_O

    If l am not mistaken the first Tesla's were some little roadster with Multi-Speed gearboxes.

    They still have a torque curve, it's just reaaaaaaaaallllly flat. I am hoping for a drop in replacement for my truck when the time comes. Keep the trans and what swap the gasser and tank for electro boy and a battery

    I thought it was only two speeds, but could be wrong.
