But really, I would think on-road is where you'd see the biggest benefits of multi-speed. First gear for the low end, and then one or two more speeds to get the higher end without having the motor maintain high rpms - especially good on "long" highway runs.
Jerry: I agree; prices for new tech is always higher when it first comes out. But I don't see battery prices dropping too much in the near future unless they can come up with cheaper materials/assembly methods. Even then, demand for batteries is just going to go up and up as more and more things become electrified.
