Having maximum torque from 0RPM removes the need for a clutch, not a transmission. You still need to keep the motor within its effective RPM range, which is certainly easier for electric motors than ICE engines but is still a consideration. Many single-speed electric cars have much lower top speeds than their power output would otherwise allow.
