So this car is electric or not?


This car is electric, AND has 6-speed transmission, their official web site says.

This has a 6 speed gearbox? I mean, electric motors lose power at higher speeds (similar to combustion engines) and a single gear ratio is a compromise - it can be optimized only for low or high speed driving.

But really, while they run out of puff, they still have an extremely wide powerband. Surely, a 2- or 3-speed transmission would be more sensible, wouldn't it? Less complexity, cost and weight.

Recharged after each day's stage by a diesel generator. So really it's diesel-powered, just like many of the other Dakar competitors. And given the losses inherent in converting and storing the electrical energy, likely less efficient than the conventional diesels as well.
