Electric vehicle (ev) gearbox assembly

An electric vehicle (EV) gearbox assembly, comprising:

• an electric motor;
• an input shaft rotationally driven by the electric motor, the input shaft having a proximal section and a distal section;
• at least one speed gear rotationally driven by the input shaft at the distal section of the input shaft;
• a first countershaft rotationally driven by the at least one speed gear wherein the at least one speed gear rotates freely about the first countershaft;
• and
• a second countershaft situated rotationally downstream of the first countershaft and having a concentric arrangement with respect to the input shaft at the proximal section of the input shaft.

An electric vehicle (EV) gearbox assembly, comprising:

• an electric motor;
• an input shaft rotationally driven by the electric motor;
• at least one speed gear rotationally driven by the input shaft;
• a disconnect assembly situated adjacent the at least one speed gear;
• a first countershaft rotationally driven by the at least one speed gear, the first countershaft having a radially offset arrangement with respect to the input shaft wherein the at least one speed gear rotates freely about the first countershaft;
• a countershaft gear rotationally driven by the first countershaft and having a concentric arrangement with respect to the input shaft;
• and
• a second countershaft rotationally driven by the countershaft gear and having a concentric arrangement with respect to the input shaft;
• wherein, during use of the EV gearbox assembly, rotational drive is transmitted from the electric motor, to the input shaft, to the at least one speed gear, to the first countershaft, to the countershaft gear, to the second countershaft, and to a differential assembly situated rotationally downstream of the second countershaft.
