Idk if they’ll be any good, but I thought this was interesting as a manual car driver when I saw it.

Toyota, however, has patented a way to provide the look and feel of a manual transmission in an electric car. … The car's torque and performance will be altered as you "shift" to provide the feel of a gas-powered vehicle.

I’d still switch to an EV either way once I have a way to charge it at home
