Toyota To Debut Manual Gearbox For EVs In 2026 car auto cars
in their EVs, Toyota’s system takes things to another level. The goal of the “manual EV” project is to simulate the driving experience of an ICE-powered vehicle, which is absent in EVs largely due to the silent operation.
The vehicles will come with a clutch pedal and a gearshift lever, working exactly like the manual gearbox in a gas-powered vehicle. This means that the EV will make all the sounds associated with the engine revs and the gear changes, feature a special mapping for power delivery, and will even stall when the clutch is not used properly during take-off., although this could probably be reserved for the performance versions bearing the Gazoo Racing signature.
Toyota hopes to sell 3.5 million electric models by 2030, with 1.7 million of those coming from the BEV Factory.
