Just wondering why one would WANT a flywheel on an EV??

On one level, that was my point. One reason would be to retain the clutch. Why would anyone do that?
In that case, remove the ring gear's weight and embed the magnet in the flywheel proper.
Astro -- good point about the square-cut gears. There are aftermarket hi-torque starters for engines with super-high compression, but there goes reusing the existing parts.
Most of this goes right over my head, I'll go back to lurking now.
