There is no point.
A combustion engine only produces peak engine torque at a narrow range of engine speeds, so you need a transmission in order to be able to drive the car at the full range of speeds needed to drive on the roads. You literally couldn’t drive a combustion engine if it didn’t have a gearbox – a gear ratio of 1:1 is somewhere between 3rd and 4th gear on a manual, so you wouldn’t be able to start the car from a standstill.
Electric engines don’t need gears, because they produce useful torque at all engine speeds. Adding a gearbox is just adding weight and complexity and cost.
