Does an Electric Car Need a Transmission?

Does an electric car with an electric DC motor need a transmission?



Hi, Richard -
No.
But...

...let me quote the new "Build Your Own Electric Vehicle" on the subject of why you'd want a transmission - page 116:

"The transmissions gears not only match the vehicle you are converting to a variety of off-the-shelf electrical motors, but also give you a mechanical reversing control that eliminates the need for a two-direction motor and controller - again, simplifying your work."

Regards,
Lynne
