Optimization of Electric Motor Operation of Full Electric Vehicle

Regardless of a number of speed ratios ("speeds"), the transmission of existing electric vehicles always operates with a single degree of freedom(DoF): the required vehicle velocity results in strictly determined speed of the electric motor(s) propelling the vehicle. Of course, this is not an optimal motor speed for maximum motor efficiency. To be optimal,
