No not really either, at least no more than the gearing in an electric car is a gearbox.

A gear box deals with shifting between different gearing factors. This isn’t the case here. Yes, the pace of the engine is geared, fixed, to the pace of the wheel, but that’s the same in many electric cars. Some are connected directly to the wheels but many have a fixed gear.
