Cough. You don't change gear on a pure electric car, because it
doesn't have any. All hybrids are automatic too (AFAIK).

Yes, in my statement I was excluding (without saying so explicitly) any
car that doesn't *have* a clutch pedal, either because the gearchanges
are automatic or because there's only one fixed ratio between motor and
wheels (which may be 1:1 if the motors are directly connected to the
wheels).

Do any electric cars have separate motors for the two driven wheels, or
is there always a single motor and a differential?

can have one per wheel no problem

Its a lot simpler way to do a 4x4 torque distribution, than mechanically.

Electric motors automatically transfer torque to non spinning wheels.
