EV's seem to favour automatic, doe this mean the manual gearbox will also be phased out.?
We might as well go join the BMW EV Mini club forum now, we could be the original members from 2017, that will look quite impressive when its 2040.  |
You don't need a gearbox in the way we know it Wes, these motors effectively produce maximum torque from zero rpm to the motors maximum speed, you just need forward or reverse. Some may add in gears for difficult terrain EV Land Rovers perhaps on the cards.
