Why don’t dual motor EVs have the same range as single motor EVs?

580 viewsOtherTechnology

It seems like dual motor EVs have significantly less range. Can’t dual motor EVs run in single motor mode to save range and only use the 2nd motor when absolutely necessary? The motor can’t weigh that much that it contributes to often 50mi difference in range.

When would the dual motor be “needed” in your estimation?

Even if you discount the raw performance benefits of it (HP, torque), dual motor also allows the car to be AWD which is useful at all speeds.
