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.

I don't really see the point of this. It's just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there's a clutch and the ability to stall?

Why are you getting downvoted? This would make an EV more fun to drive even if it isn't the "real thing" and makes it slower within the mode.

The amount of people downvoting similar opinions in this thread is off the charts. These people need to get a grip.
