![]() Instead, a shifter would be connected to sensors and a central computer programmed to mimic the feel of a car with a manual transmission. In Toyota’s case, according to a patent application filed in the United States in late May, the car would have no actual multi-speed transmission. Most electric cars have only a one-speed transmission because their fast-spinning electric motors don’t need the extra help from different gear ratios at different speeds. They are more common in other parts of the world, though, including Europe. Manual transmissions, in which a driver has to press a clutch pedal and move a stick around to select different gears, are usually offered as options on performance cars or, in some cases, extremely cheap cars. A feature like this could help lure holdouts who aren’t attracted to an electric vehicle’s usual smoothness and simplicity.Įven among gasoline-powered cars, most sold in the United States today have automatic transmissions that shift gears with no driver input. That will mean finding ways to appeal to all sorts of consumers. Toyota, long skeptical of electric vehicles, has been planning a more aggressive push into the sector. It would be just for fun, an add-on for people who like shifting gears in their gasoline-powered cars. To be clear, a manual transmission on an electric car would serve absolutely no purpose.
