Poised to provide the most realistic feel of any EV currently available, the futuristic six-gear manual transmission Jeep Magneto may roll off production lines in around three years, says Kelley Blue Book. Unlike a gasoline-powered car, the electric motor in the proposed vehicle will never stall, explains MotorTrend magazine.ĭrivers who like to put dirt roads under their wheels are looking forward to the release of an electric version of the oh-so-popular Jeep Wrangler SUV. With an ersatz clutch, make-believe stick shift, and three-mode selector, the concept Toyota Sports EV will give drivers the experience of driving with a manual transmission. In early 2022, Toyota filed a patent for an all-electric vehicle that simulates the feel of driving a clutch-and-gearbox car. With a two-speed automated manual real axle transmission, the first all-electric car from Audi can be had for a starting price of around $101,000, advises Edmunds. Somewhat more affordable is the 2022 Audi e-tron GT. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo can be delivered with a two-speed rear axle transmission for a starting price of around $187,600.

Although they are relatively rare compared to automatic EV transmission options, a few electric automakers currently (or may soon) offer cars with shift-it-yourself manual transmissions. If you prefer the feel of a clutch pedal under your left foot to the effortless self-shift of an automatic transmission, you’ll want to know which EV models come with manual transmissions.
