Is there really much if at all to gain by adding gearing on an electric motor? I know theoretically you can probably gain a couple percentage points of efficiency by adding a transmission, but in practice I imagine you mostly just increase complexity, cost, and decrease reliability.

Its the ev rocket equation vs a small efficiency bulge at high speeds.
