A Proper Manual EV.
"Where the BEE differs is that the motor is hooked up to the five-speed manual gearbox from a Mazda MX-5. We’re already in the era of cars like the Ioniq 5 N simulating paddleshift gearchanges, but here’s an MG B with an electric motor under the bonnet, a manual in the middle, and a charge port by the chrome bumper at the back." "You really must heel-and-toe it, too, or the downshifts will be clumsy and jerky. It takes some learning, with the pedals canted right and a whole new ‘engine’ to get used to. But it works like any other: blip too much and the flare of revs is plain to hear (even if the gear goes in smoothly enough) while bringing the clutch up too soon will have the powertrain stumble as things don’t quite mesh right. Get your footwork right, though, and there’s the joy of a throttle-matched downshift to savour. " PistonHeads

this is exactly where i hope to see the manual transmission in 10 years if ev's become the mainstream.
it's not about the function, it's about the fun.
