Yeah the nice thing about EV motors, they can vary their power output hundreds of times per second so they don’t need a transmission as it can basically do everything a transmission can right from the motor. Some cars even put the motor in the wheel so you don’t need a drive axle. Overall the mechanical complexity of EVs are greatly reduced.
For an EV conversion it makes sense that you’d lock things to a single gear as you wouldn’t want to stress out the transmission from sudden power variances.
