    Technically, they are mostly not automatic transmissions. Mostly they are single-speed. There’s no automatic shifting of gears. If you like playing with the stick for the sake of playing with the stick for fun, that’s no comfort. But if you were trying to outdo automatic transmissions at anticipating the right gear for what comes next, well, that’s not an issue in an EV, the answer is always “already in the right gear for what comes next”.

    The one thing I’d say is if you were a fan of cornering, the weight of an EV puts it at a disadvantage, it can’t quite be as nimble as a little sports car.
