I’ve never seen an ICE car need two engines to drive all four wheels. Why do EVs need 2 motors? Wouldn’t a transmission be cheaper than another motor?

    Having an independent motor per axle is an advantage for a few reasons. It’s not that electric can’t do it the way that ice does it with driveshafts and differentials and all that, it’s the opposite. The superior solution of independent motors isn’t really an option for an ice vehicle.
