If I'm understanding what I'm reading, with an EV, it's not about the transmission, but about the controller. The EV1 had a 1 speed transmission, and maintained full torque through the power band because of the controller. Do any of the DIY conversions have this kind of controller technology available, or is that the magic bullet that they don't want to let out of the box?
