Toyota's been toying with the idea of a simulated standard transmission. You're totally right about them not really being autos either. I understand that there's really no way for a EV to have a manual transmission, but that's pretty much where the "sport" comes from, "slow car fast" and all that. Otherwise it's pretty much just a numbers game, no real skill required.

I believe the Porsche Taycan (sp?) has two gears. The second one kicks in at something silly like 80mph.
