But EVs don’t even need more than one gear ratio because of how the motors…
What’s that? Musk designed it? Ah sounds about right, carry on
The Porsche Taycan has a 2 speed electric gearbox for better efficiency at freeway/autobahn speeds.
IIRC there is actually some benefit to having a low gear and a high gear, because the electric motor works at any speed but can’t give the best power output if it’s too slow or too fast.
Iirc that’s how the porsche taycan works.
Pulled up an article to remind myself: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28903274/porsche-taycan-transmission/
It’s on the rear axle, and it looks like it can go into neutral for some high efficiency fwd cruising.
