A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.
All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!
No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.
The main "global" EV community is [email protected]

They’re not all technically the same manual you have in a car. F1, for instance, shifts with buttons
I don't care if you're fucking max verstappen, you ain't shifting faster than a Porsche or Ferrari DCT.
No one is using a manual in motorsports.
Define "motorsports".
Time attack, drifting, autocross, and drag racers all have manuals used.
No drag racer ever used a powerglide? And would you really consider F1 cars to be manual?
The gears in motorsport are manual where as the gears in EV are software.
