Electric vehicles (EVs) typically do not have a traditional gearbox with multiple gears like those found in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This is because electric motors operate efficiently across a wide range of RPMs, eliminating the need for multiple gears to match engine speed with wheel speed for different phases of driving (accelerating, cruising, etc.). Instead, EVs often use a single-speed transmission that directly connects the motor to the wheels, allowing for smooth and rapid acceleration from a standstill. However, some high-performance or specialized electric models may have two-speed transmissions to optimize performance or efficiency at high speeds. The lack of a multi-gear transmission is one reason why EVs can offer a quieter and more seamless driving experience compared to their ICE counterparts.

There are no traditional multi-speed manual or automatic transmissions on most electric vehicles. Because electric motors are more powerful than internal combustion engines. they provide torque over a wider range of speeds. so there is no traditional transmission. Some electric cars such as the Porsche Taycan come with two-speed transmissions. but they are extremely rare. However. a single-speed transmission can help transfer power from the motor to the wheels.
