When it doesn’t matter how fast it spins, it doesn’t matter. See: Tesla. Also, instant torque.

Electric motors don't like operating all out (or close to it) at low rotational speeds for more than a very short time.

EV work trucks and off road toys will likely have two and maybe even three speed transmissions for the same reasons that your cordless drill does.

Because of torque?
