There is no substitute for cubic inches uh, wattage. FCA was using a 7-speed Magna unit with a 75 kW e-motor in the Euro Market Fiat 600, Jeep Compass and Renegade 48v mild hybrid models. Now Stellantis is calling their Punch transaxle with only a 21 kW e-motor progress and then admit their priority is to build it as cheaply as possible.

BTW, here is what we get with the high voltage eFlite in the Pacifica hybrid:
Electrically variable transmission with dual-motor EV drive capability
Motor A Power: Estimated 84 hp (63 kW)
Motor B Power: Estimated 114 hp (85 kW)
