> They produce their max torque at 0 rpm and it decreases from there.

That's true in an unregulated motor, but Nissan electronically regulates the motor so the torque isn't ridiculous at 0rpm. The torque curve ends up being flat over most of the range, and it seems to start falling off around 50mph. I haven't seen a plot, so that's just my impression. I can see how the wording is incorrect, so I modified it to refer specifically to the Leaf's motor.

> No documentation I have found states it has a CVT.

You're right. Fixed.
