I know its possible to run certain engines at lower voltage. Iirc the leaf can run at less than 200v with a zombieverter. At a loss of max rpm.

Question is, in that case wouldn't it be better off to mount to the transmission as the higher gears would allow a higher speed without needing 400v battery setup? I know there would ve some power loss and lack of regenerative breaking in automatic transmissions but is that even a factor?
