I’ve never seen an ICE car need two engines to drive all four wheels. Why do EVs need 2 motors? Wouldn’t a transmission be cheaper than another motor?

    Electric motors are crazy cheap compared to the rest of the car.

    And making 2/4 small ones is cheaper than making 1 really big one plus all the transmissions and drive axles needed to move power around the vehicle.
