The invention discloses a two-gear transmission for an electric vehicle. The two-gear transmission is applicable to front-engine front-drive or rear-engine rear-drive vehicles, is positioned at the output end of a driving motor, and is of a three-shaft structure. The two-gear transmission comprises an input shaft assembly, an intermediate shaft assembly, an output assembly and a case assembly, wherein rotation central lines of the input shaft assembly, the intermediate shaft assembly and the output assembly are parallel; the input shaft assembly, the intermediate shaft assembly and the output assembly are mounted and supported on the case assembly. According to the two-gear transmission, the transmission efficiency is high, the structure is simple, the transmission ratio is liable to match, and the production and manufacturing cost is relatively low; the transmission torque is large, gear shifting control is accurate, reliability is high, and performance requirements that power is not interrupted during the gear shifting process, the time of the gear shifting process is short, and the gear shifting process is smooth can be met; the lighter driving motor can be adopted, and the cost of the driving motor is reduced; and the driving motor and a transmission system are integratedly designed, so that the comprehensive cost of an electric driving system is greatly reduced, and the loading compatibility on different vehicles is higher.
