Exactly. ICE cars have gearboxes to address the narrow torque and power range of an ICE. Since an electric motor has a super wide rpm range, then a gearbox is not needed (or at most 2 speeds). Why put a gearbox back? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say was a multi-speed, self-selectable gearbox, be it auto or manual. Don't think you can choose the GB speed in the Taycan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0y0ta Supercharged July 27, 2021 Share July 27, 2021 Engine was created to solve problem of converting stored energy (fuel) into motion Gearbox was created to solve problem of engine only working well at small range of RPM Auto Gearbox was created to solve problem of lazy humans refusing to spend effort on changing gears Electric motor can convert stored energy (battery electrons) to motion without needing to maintain a small RPM range, so no problem for gearbox to solve 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
