The only known electric car with clutch is the Kewet Eljet. He didn’t use them at the time. E-motors deliver their full torque from the first revolutions and can be controlled virtually as far as standstill. The uniform torque profile over the rotational speed then also makes a multi-stage transmission obsolete in everyday vehicles, but e-sport cars sometimes have a two-speed transmission for higher speeds.

Since many unfortunately only spread half knowledge here:

An electric car comes out without manual or automatic transmission. Opel has installed a manual transmission in the prototype of Manta E. The reason is nostalgia.

Completely without gear, there are no e-cars in series. For cost reasons, a differential gear is almost always used. Even in Tesla, those are installed to save the copper for a 2nd engine per axle and to simplify cooling.

in the operation in which I work we also have some E vehicles and those like automatic have only one ‘gas’ – and a brake pedal.

not automatic, no transmission

There are also cars with 2 gears .

Pure electric cars usually have no coupling. Hybrid vehicles as well as petrol engines with automatic transmission have one – usually even more than one clutch.

Well, yeah. A car should always fit the user’s driving behavior. Otherwise you burn unnecessary energy. This will be most obvious when choosing electric or plug-in hybrid. Today’s hybrids are plug-in hybrids. They have an electric motor with high voltage batteries, such as a real electric with a range of 80 to 100 KM. In city traffic, they are supposed to drive purely electric and out of gasoline. To use such a car effectively, you need a certain mix of city and country traffic. If you are driving only city traffic with a plug-in hybrid you have 2 problems: a) you have to constantly load because the range is lower than with a normal e-car and b) the gasoline is never used and is broken. Most who buy a plug_in hybrids and only drive city traffic will probably never load and have an expensively subsidized gasoline that consumes more gasoline than a comparable pure gasoline, as it must carry the weight of the electric motor and the batteries. So if you’re on the road, you should go to an e-car.

Why clutch? An e-car comes out with a gang. Thus, it does not need a gear and thus also no clutch.

Of course it needs a gear. It’s not without gears.

An e-car does not need a clutch because there is virtually no classical gear, but in the hybrid because of the burner already.

After the production of the batteries, an e car has expelled as much co2 as a 10 year old diesel.

Then call a loadable current wave. With increasing use of regenerative energies in production and driving operation, this changes, while burning is not possible.

We have been driving with electricity from the roof for almost 1 month. Can you?

No electric. Don’t be a bum drive a burner. After the production of the batteries, an e car has expelled as much co2 as a 10 year old diesel. And as long as the electricity is still largely composed of fossil fuels, it is green on such a car garnix.

Hybrid is the largest beacon that the automotive industry has developed.

E-cars have and do not need coupling because you do not have to change gear and the electric motor works up to 0 rpm.

The change between forward and reverse travel is made electric.

This means that the motor goes directly via the simple (non-shiftable) transmission with differential to the drive shafts and wheels.

Forward and backward is not mechanically switched, the motor simply turns in the other direction.

When you start with the electric car, the motor gets power, then it starts to turn. If you drive “full gas” then you just get more power. The motor itself does not do this, but differential and drive shafts are loaded more strongly than with any car.

How is this with an electric car, does it also have a clutch that separates the drive from the roadway?

What for? The secret is the ability of recuperation, kinetic energy is recovered proportionally by the drive motors and the battery is charged with it. You can’t have a clutch.

However, there is no need for a coupling for purely technical reasons and it is therefore not installed. It is therefore completely superfluous and as a driver of an electric car, by the way, I do not miss it.

Is that what they’d do to recoup?

Why and when should we even be uncoupled? There is no change of gear, as is known, the engines have a lot of torque from speed 0.

Here https://www.motor-talk.de/blogs/zephy-s-blog/warum-used-one-e-drive-no-shiftable-gear-t6157251.html is explained why one does not need a gearshift in the electric motor. If you don’t need this, you don’t need a clutch, at least in the electric car.

There is no correct coupling for e-cars:

There may be those with tempomat, but no proper coupling.

The only thing that comes close to this would be the energy change, i.e. from forward to reverse. More coupling is not there.

Or do you mean a trailer coupling? That would be possible.

“There may be those with tempomat, but not a proper coupling.”

What does Tempomat have to do with coupling?

Absolutely not.
