[Answer] Are an elevator’s upward and downward speeds the same?

In principle, they should be the same, since an elevator uses the same motor for both directions, and the motor typically does not operate at variable frequency. So in theory, the speed going up and down should be identical. However, this is only a guess—I do not work in the elevator industry, have not studied the actual structure in detail, and have not tested it myself, so this is for reference only.
