This isn’t a gearbox. It’s a means of transferring power to the wheel, while having the electric engine sitting right next to the wheel.

This isn’t a gearbox.

Then it’s the replacement for one.

  No not really either, at least no more than the gearing in an electric car is a gearbox.
  
  A gear box deals with shifting between different gearing factors. This isn’t the case here. Yes, the pace of the engine is geared, fixed, to the pace of the wheel, but that’s the same in an electric car.

    My apologies, you were right and I was wrong. I didn’t read your original comment well enough.
