I've been wondering for a long time when we might see one or more of the mass-market BEVs offer multiple gears. I realize there are a number of real advantages to single-gear BEVs (smoothness, lower weight, complexity, cost, probable better reliability and durability, little sacrifice of acceleration due to low rpm high torque, synergy with multiple-motor BEV setups, etc.), but I can't help but wonder how multi-speed gear boxes might do in some aspects of some BEVs, such as in high-end acceleration and top speed, and whether range and miles-per-kWh could be improved or not.
