Why 2 motors for AWD?

fa1coner@alien.topB to Electric Vehicles@gearhead.townEnglish · 1 year ago

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?

Mainly I would think running a transmission and the equipment for AWD would interfere with the battery.
