In an way, there are several EVs that do have the EV equivalent of a manual transmission anyway. Tesla has ludicrous mode, GM has WTF and WOW, and to a lesser extend Ford has "Unbridled".

All of these basically take the place of gearing to enhance the driving performance of the car when needed. Except instead of "engaging" your otherwise redundant foot, you let your fingers do the walking to pick the mode.

Also, don't the Taycan and E-Tron GT have 2 gears? If so, there's your options.
