Isn't this any oxymoron? "It acts as a continuously variable transmission (CVT) but with a fixed gear ratio"

- ronancremin 12y agoConfusing but not an oxymoron. From the point of view of the ICE the transmission is CVT because the road speed can vary (thanks to the electric motors) whilst keeping the ICE running in the same speed band.
- beachstartup 12y agoyes, the statement itself is inaccurate, but in the mechanism, there are 3 separate gears which can be adjusted to make a continuously variable ratio.
