Q
are all electric vehicles automatic

Nearly all electric vehicles (EVs) available today come equipped with automatic transmissions, and for good reason. The essence of an electric vehicle's powertrain operates differently from that of internal combustion engine vehicles. An electric motor provides instantaneous torque, offering a smooth acceleration curve from a standstill. This characteristic removes the need for manual gear shifting to modulate power, as is necessary in traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles. Moreover, the design of electric motors allows for precise control over vehicle speed and acceleration with a single gear, making the concept of a multi-speed transmission largely redundant. As such, designers and engineers opt for automatic transmissions to simplify the drivetrain, enhance efficiency, and improve the driving experience. While there may be exceptions on a conceptual or experimental level, the overwhelming majority of commercial EVs feature an automatic transmission setup for these practical and performance-oriented reasons.

A typical electric car does not come with a manual transmission like a gasoline-powered car. Electric cars use electric motors instead of internal combustion engines to drive the wheels. so manual transmissions are obsolete. Since there is normally only one gear. drivers do not have to change gears. Rather. they use a simple forward-neutral-reverse system.
