In today’s video, we have some exciting news from Toyota. Patents have revealed that Toyota is developing an electric vehicle (EV) with a manual transmission. But hold on, before you get too confused, it’s important to note that Toyota is doing this purely for fun, as reported by CNN.

For those who find electric cars a bit boring, Toyota engineers are working on incorporating a realistic-feeling fake manual transmission as a possible feature. Now, let’s be clear, a manual transmission in an electric car would serve absolutely no purpose other than providing a fun add-on for those who enjoy the experience of shifting gears in their gasoline-powered cars.

Toyota, which has historically been skeptical of electric vehicles, is now planning a more aggressive push into the EV sector. To do so, they are exploring ways to appeal to a wide range of consumers. One way to attract those who may not be immediately drawn to the usual smoothness and simplicity of electric vehicles is by introducing unique features like this fake manual transmission.

So what do you think of an electric vehicle with manual transmission? Toyota, after all, may make it.
