Default O.T. electric cars - do they have gearboxes?

quiet and amazing acceleration.

Do electric cars have a gearbox (an automatic one I presume)? Or does the
motor just run faster the faster you go? I was told by the owner the
optimum speed for economy of battery usage is about 55mph.

It doesn't sound like it's changing gear.


What do you folks think about the company Adomani, which goes public
tomorrow, with the symbol ADOM? I think their technology sounds pretty cool
and I've been reading everything I can find about the company recently,
leading up to the IPO and I'm pretty impressed already.

I'd really like to get into this one on the ground floor because I have a
strong feeling, based on the research I've done, that this one is going to
take off shortly out of the gate. So I'd be really interested in hearing
what others have to say about it.

As you are new to this UK group, you should write in a UK style and don't
give away your foreign UTC time-zone. If your company can't produce a better
script, I doubt it can produce a better car.
