Electric cars don't need a transmission at all

Why do some have a transmission?

Some of the performance EVs like the Porsche Taycan have a second gear to help with top speed and acceleration above 60mph. Pretty much any regular use wouldn't need a transmission. Tesla's been doing just fine with a single gear ratio in their vehicles.
