Those are excellent pieces of information. It would therefore appear that some sort of electrically actuated shifting would be the best. That way one might get rid of the clutch expense and complexity, and still have an automatic shift based upon controller input.
By the way, what is the comparison of loss between an ICE and a motor? Did the suggestions take that into consideration? For instance, we know an ICE setup is pretty inefficient to begin with. Would simply swapping for a motor gain signigicantly?
