Which statement is not true based on the information provided?

• A. BEVs are charged by plugging into charging equipment
• B. The two main motor types in EVs are AC and DC
• C. An electric car transmission has more than one speed
• D. A safe working EV environment should avoid using conductive workbenches

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how electric vehicle drivetrains are typically built. Electric motors deliver high torque across a wide range of speeds, so most electric cars use a single-speed transmission. Adding multiple gears would add unnecessary complexity, weight, and cost, without providing enough benefit for the common driving range and torque characteristics. Therefore, the statement that an electric car transmission has more than one speed isn’t true in the standard design described for this context.

The other statements align with basic safety and charging practices: BEVs are charged by plugging into charging equipment, and a safe working EV environment uses nonconductive surfaces and avoids conductive workbenches. (Note: a few high-performance or specialized models may use more than one gear, but that’s not the typical setup covered here.)
