electric motor working speed range don't need gearbox, you use an inverter to control it, in the city i believe it is also the same working method, the accelerator is like the adjuster knob for speed modulation, then the ECU tells the electric motor to speed up or slow down. Much like how we play with the speed variation of an electric motor via an inverter. The best example is electric forklift. You can cap the max speed or the electric motor or you can crank it up to the max.yea i get that, what i mean is, at lower gears, our torque is 'multiplied'.... without a gearbox what you have is one ratio
what im assuming is, if it has even a 3 or even 2 speed it would be able to accelerate faster (theoretically?)
only strange thing (from what i have read) is that the electric motor and ice doesnt seem to be able to run at the same time
Putting a 3 or 2 speed gearbox for the electric motor is redundant and it adds weights and also power lost.
