Justify an electric manual transmission car.
I'm not talking about that simulated crap, that's as cringe as CVTs with simulated shifts. I want a real manual trans EV.

The Taycan and e-tron GT have a two speed gearbox for launching and higher top speeds, could a weaker motor mated with a gearbox be used to increase the lower torque.

I just want any justification no matter how slim.

There's not one. Transmissions exist as a necessity to compensate for an engines inability to rev high enough. If engines could (reliably) rev to 25k rpms then we would have never had multi gear transmissions. Putting a real manual transmission in an EV will only reduce range and power on top of increasing weight and complexity.
Porsche tried the 2 speed gearbox but it was pointless as it ultimately achieved neither better acceleration, more range, nor higher speed and they ditched it in the be lnee cayenne
>>
>>28947850
electric motors lose efficiency very fast at high rpm so even if there's no need for torque multiplication you can get more efficient cruising and superior low speed performance with a multi-gear setup

the kind of people who want 1 gear electric cars are the kinds of morons who ride fixed gear bicycles. yes you can do it but it's stupid.

no, evs are gay.

That's definitely not a reason
>multi gear transmissions. Putting a real manual transmission in an EV will only reduce range
Untrue. Electric motors also have an RPM range of most efficient operation, That's why EVs are geared, sometimes shiftable between two speeds


The OP car however exists only as a masturbatory exercise of misguided fanaticism
>>
>>28947853
No they don't. What you're thinking of is range vs speed. EVs lose range at higher speeds because of wind resistance not because of the speed of the motor. Gas cars suffer the same fate but ultimately no one cares because the difference between 30mpg and 25mpg is no biggie when you can just stop and fill up in 3 minutes

Why are amerrymutts so obsessed with manual cars
Its like being obsessed with crank windows lmao

>>28947859

Yes, they do.
It's always the futurefetish 'next thing' retards that know the least about whatever they're glazing at the moment. Read a book, nignog
>>
>>28947859
yes they do, higher rpm = more voltage = more wattage output = more energy use

electricity is not magic
>>
>>28947865
>>28947873
Yeah you're probably right. Literally every single automotive engineer in the world is trying to figure out how to squeeze more range out of their EVs and not a single one of them right to use one of the same transmissions they've been using for over 100 years because I guess they're just not as smart as you

engineers don't make the sales decisions, management does, and if management wants a glorified golf kart with no abrupt jerkiness that's what they get.

>using some casual, logically fallacious reasoning
The worst part about low Iq blowhard toyotards is how resistant to self awareness they are.

>Why Efficiency Drops at High Speeds
At high RPMs, the laws of physics introduce several compounding power losses:
Iron (Core) Losses: Alternating magnetic fields cause power loss in the stator. These losses scale with frequency, meaning they increase rapidly at higher speeds, creating excessive heat and wasting electrical energy.
Windage Losses: High rotation speeds create aerodynamic drag inside the motor. These friction-like losses against the internal air or rotor geometry are roughly proportional to the cube of the rotor speed
Back EMF (Electromotive Force): As the motor spins faster, it generates an internal voltage (Back EMF) that pushes back against the supply voltage. The controller must use more current to overcome this, causing elevated (copper) losses and thermal stress.
Friction Losses: Bearings and (in brushed motors) commutators experience increased mechanical wear and friction, converting kinetic energy into wasted heat.

And most EVS do have a transmission. Stop being wrong and annoying

>comes with "upgraded" unaerodynamic, 35 lb 20" wheels

>range magically goes up by 20%
I imagine this is closer to the engineers' original ideas before designers and marketers fucked it up
>>
>>28947887
Okay yes technically at some level this is true. The point isn't that they are magically 100% efficient at all rpms but that the loss of efficiency is significantly less than the loss of efficiency from adding a transmission
>>
>>28947881
The original Tesla roadster and Rimac both use transmissions retardAnon.
>>
>>28947859
Some motor designs suffer from higher counter-EMF at higher speeds. It's the same designs that rock the torque at low speeds. But in the end, Multiphase synchronous motors rule the day.
>>
>>28947798
okay? what do you expect us to do about it?
>>
Synchronous motors are too good for gear stages to make sense
>>
>>28947798
Why?
A multi-speed gear box is not some feature of a car, but a necessity given the power/torque curves of piston engines. Electric motors have high torque from zero RPM on, and they can spin at 10000RPM (depending on construction).
The Taycan's 2 speed is one of the very few cases of an EV not being single speed and arguably it's already over-engineering.
>>
>>28948085
And how many gears do the modem teslas and rimacs use

So, Porsche Taycan and the Audi e-tron GT
>A retard cites 2 Edge Cases as if they should be considered the Rule.
Sorry fag, grocery momma doesn't need sub 2.8 second launch times or 170mph+ maximum efficiency.
>>
>>28948199
>muh exception to the rule
It's called evolution bitch
Find the EVs that that drive the wheels directly 1:1 from the motor, we'll wait while you pound keys. While you're at it, Read a book nigger and stick to your to goyotas or testlas
>>
>>28948216
If you don't have a motor in every wheel with high unsprung masses, you need some kind of gearing anyway so you can also add some reduction without losing efficiency.
>>
>>28948216
>>28948229
Bullshitter.

>Yeah, and next year, we can introduce the Accord with better than F1 performance
Bullshitter.
>>
>>28948235
What?
I wrote nothing wrong here....
>>
Makes sense to me. Electric motors have different power output and efficiency at different rpm.

There's no justification for performance reasons. You achieve the best results with one or two gears. Anything else eats up efficiency.

I love the idea though of a 5 or 6sp manuel ev but only if I can either build it for cheap or as last hope for a bit of fun in a total ev dystopia in the future. Since material for ev conversions is still too expensive and neither do we have the ev dystopia (yet) I rather enjoy my gas cars.
>>
>>28947798
Its common on EV conversions. Autotragics are gay and use solenoid and shit to work and the TCM will mald about an engine not being present. Grugg manual gearbox dont give a shit and just work.

Just get a manual hybrid and be done with it
>>
>>28947860
Just can't do the slushbox thing it's too humiliating
>>
Can you design a transmission and clutch that will comfortably and reliability handle a high-tq Electric motor? Those would be some expensive gears as an EV would strip teeth off most gears when it instantaneously dumps torque. You'd have to have the finest straight cut gears of something.
