Of course not. EVs don’t need a transmission, plus it helps make up for some of the weight of the battery to just not have one.

I also loved a manual transmission, but I love a good piece of engineering more than just my interactions with it. I also loved how smoothly the CVT on my Subaru accelerated and how responsive it was. However I love even more the sheer effortless silent torque of my EV.
