I mean it's probably a valid point that money is probably better spent on the motor (carbon fiber reinforcement, thinner laminations) than on adding a second gear ratio, but there's no reason you can't have both. Formula E staying in 2nd gear most of the time isn't really a counter argument, because most people don't drive their gasoline cars in 1st gear except from a stop.
But again, electric cars already have a gear reduction because a car's wheels spin slowly. A second gear set is not some crazy extravagant cost or extra complexity. I just want to have some fun and involvement when driving, have a low gear to spin the tires easily with and creep around in traffic, then a high gear for high speed. |
