Yeah, and EVs have essentially killed that. And no, a "manual transmission" on an EV isn't the same at all, I know those are fake gears and I'm having none of it.

Most EVs have barely any gearbox to speak of, usually one gear for reverse and one for forward. If you like simplicity and less stuff to break, an electric drive train is about as simple as you can get.

The battery does have some more complex tech in it. And of course, sadly, all the software stuff that doesn't have much to do with the actual driving. That is usually the worst part.
