I've also read in multiple places that an e-motor is most efficient at cruise when spinning around 3-4k rpm.
If I had it in a higher gear to get more amps for acceleration, I'd often pull it back down a cog or two to cruise along.
But for max efficiency, I also used 1st gear from a stop and accelerated lightly.
