Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle? (lemmy.world)

I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

Almost. At some point I probably will, but I'm not quite ready yet (mpstly because I haven't found an EV that fits my needs, and the infrastructure where I live is somewhat limited). So I am getting a gas/electric hybrid in a couple of months to replace my aging gasser.
