My point is that a low speed ev is just simpler and wayyyyyyy more efficient.
The original 2000 Honda Insight can be converted to a full efficiency EV by adding one of the following to existing design
1. Specialty dual clutch transmission
2. Existing design but with a full power full speed Prius Prime dog clutch which would allow the gas engine to be disengaged at will from the ima.

Sadly no one has sourced a Prius Prime dog clutch to test fitment to a G1 but it has been an option for years that was never investigated.
