How does a "transmission" work in an electric vehicle?
Probably similarly to how this joke worked on you.
What joke? I didn't know how transmissions worked in EVs and now I do. People who think curiosity is worthy of ridicule guard and protect their own ignorance like a treasure.
The same way it works in any vehicle with a motor and a transmission. The motor connects to the input shaft of the transmission, runs through some gears, and the output shaft spins at a different speed from the input shaft.
Sure, but EVs don't have transmissions in the same way as ICE vehicles. If they have a transmission at all, it's virtually always a single-speed transmission with no gears to shift. Electric motors basically output maximum torque from 0 to some max speed, so there's no need to shift gears to keep in in a sweet spot. They just need to reduce the speed because the motor runs at a higher rpm than the tires.
High performance EVs actually have multiple gears due to the sheer amount of power they can lay down. Smaller ones may not need it but you definitely need it with more powerful ones.
I'm not aware of any electric car that has more than two gears.
You can still have multiple gears if you attach a gear box to the electric motor. Some BEVs already do that.
While it’s rare, they do exist. Primary example being the Porsche Taycan with its 2-speed transmission.
Additionally, any EV conversion of an ICE vehicle where the electric motor is placed in front of the drivetrain can also take advantage of a transmission.
