With respect to PM DC motors (not sure about the other newer technologies), that is a simple mechanical way to enable the vehicle to operate at peak motor efficiency. It could also render gains in acceleration and regenerative braking if overide controls are used. The benefits could outweigh the 5%-ish friction losses - resulting in increased battery range....Hhmm? Tin Man 2 mentioned the addition of CVT to electric vehicles.

A smaller Motor with a transmission of some type would seem like a good idea. The Idea of a single gear ratio just seems wrong to my old school self. It may well be that I just do not understand the character of Electric power delivery, My vintage Slot Cars do well with one gear ratio, but they have a remote power source. How about a power strip on X-ways to boost real cars of the future? Sure would help on long trips. Im wondering if a CVT would be helpfull on an Electric vehicle.
