There’s no reason to do that with an electric motor (as far as I know). It would only reduce the efficiency. Maybe it’s something that the car enthusiasts could get on board with though?
It’s not completely pointless, e.g. the Taycan has a two-speed transmission: One to have ludicrous torque to start rolling, the other to be more efficient at higher RPMs. Most EVs aren’t Porsches, though, and Taycans aren’t stick-shift.
