If only there was some way to transmit the power from the engine to different gear ratios for efficiency at different speeds. That would be the future.

- detaro 3y agoIf only gear ratios fixed air resistance. Then your comment would make sense.
- birdyrooster 3y agoHow is air resistance the issue here? We are talking about the powerband of the motor. These are two independent concerns that ought not to be conflated.
- maigret 3y agoNot sure if you are sarcastic... Gear ratios are needed by ICE because ICEs have a much smaller RPM range, and can't go down to 0 without stalling. There are some EVs that have gearboxes, the cost/benefit of that is still unclear.
