In a couple decade gasoline cars wont really be a thing. Everyone will drive EVs. If it's smart to burn gasoline to generate power, they powers that be will build large plants to far more efficiently burn the gasoline.
Tesla didn't get a transmission mainly because they put enough power and low end torque would blow up any transmission that hit weight and size specs they needed to do.
However, a manual trans can be in an EV. It just doesnt make sense, there's virtually no situations where you want to be out of gear.
Flipside, this is a huge adoption hurdle for me. I need my manual trans.
I love the idea of a manual trans ev wrangler: https://www.motortrend.com/news/jeeps-magneto-concept-wrangler-ev-photos-details/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/jeeps-magneto-concept-wrangl...
But my understanding is that it's not happening.
