They don't HAVE TO HAVE transmissions. But I just attended a seminar by two aftermarket suppliers who are developing transmissions just for EVs. So don't count on transmissions going away completely.


Some of the new transmissions coming will have the electric motor right in them. I guess we have yet to see which is best, motors right on the wheels, you could probably have a center diff motor too
