    If you’re starting off in slippery conditions is good to start in a higher gear so there’s less torque and you don’t exceed the lower amount of friction with the road surface.

      It’s quite a bit different for electric motors because they don’t have the same power band that ICE have. Electric motors deliver maximum torque at 0rpm. With electric vehicles, you really just have to rely on driver skill and automatic traction control. Gearing won’t help you.
