Are all new energy vehicles automatic transmission?
2 Answers
All currently available electric vehicles have only one forward gear. Therefore, there is no distinction between manual and automatic transmissions in electric vehicles. Here is more information about new energy vehicles: 1. Structure: Taking pure electric vehicles as an example in terms of vehicle construction, pure electric vehicles use three electric systems as the power source, and there is no transmission in the power structure. 2. Working principle: In terms of power generation during operation, pure electric vehicles provide electrical energy from the battery to the motor, which drives the motor to operate and thus propels the vehicle forward.
Actually, anyone who has driven an electric car knows that new energy vehicles basically don't have traditional gears. My neighbor just bought a pure electric car, and there are only three buttons inside: Drive, Reverse, and Park. The reason is simple: electric motors have an exceptionally wide RPM range. At startup, the motor itself can handle the need for low RPM and high torque, unlike fuel-powered cars that require gear shifting via a transmission. Some cars with paddle shifters don't use them for gear changes either; they mostly adjust the energy recovery intensity. So, new energy vehicles essentially operate with a logic similar to automatic transmissions, completely freeing the left foot. However, it's worth noting that extended-range hybrids might have exceptional structures, but the driving operation remains fully automatic.
