And it might be a good trade-off to pair a motor with a peaky torque curve with a 2-speed or 3-speed gearbox.
But if your _only_ goal is to limit torque, you could simulate that by re-mapping the pedal.
Say, by hitting "Eco" mode on a Prius.
- falcolas 4y agoMy comment is more about why torque should be limitable, not a critique on electric cars.
- teknopaul 4y agoMost cars have traction control AFAIK. Instead of limiting max torque, they notice when it's spinning the wheels. Same in reverse for breaks and abs. On my car you can turn it off if you want some fun on dirt tracks.
- falcolas 4y agoOnce the wheels are spinning, its often too late. At least in my experience. Its best used to accelerate with minimal spin, and is mediocre - at best - at preventing traction loss in turns of any kind.
