Actually EV1s have induction motors (3 phase) which produce contant torque until peak power is reached and then reduces linearly. Usually that is set at 3600 rpm. The are great cars...really fast to launch. They also have great traction control. In general, electric motors make much more sense than ICE. They are smooth, quiet and 1 moving part. Its those damn batteries that limits the car. A modified (higher gearing) EV-1 set the ev speed record in the 90s at around 175mph. The record is around 250 mpg now by a special built electric vehicle.
