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 car that has more than two gears.
