After 2035, the EU wont aprove new cars with combustion engines. But what about the people that want to drive a stick shift? I actually thought about fake stickshifts in the past. Amazed to see that car manufacturers are actually doing that...
It's not impossible to have gears and stick shift in an EV. Not required, but possible. Some (niche) companies are retrofitting ICE cars with EV motors. The stick shift continues to work and you can drive any gear in a much wider RPM range.
