so in a typical EV, the torque travels through one gear to hit the wheels (there are other gears involved, for example in the diff, but no energy is lost to friction inthem on a straight road). The CV joint, while straight, has no friction either.
In this design the torque travels through 4 gears. That has to cut efficiency rather substantially?
