Multi-speed transmissions actually make sense on high-performance vehicles. Yes they are harder to overspeed and stall than an ICE, but the torque curve of most electric motors starts high then slowly goes down. ICEs can have all kinds of different torque curves, but a lot of high-performance ones put more torque higher in the rev range An electric vehicle with a transmission designed to keep the revs of the motor low would let it pull much harder at higher speeds. 🤔
