Manual transmission car does bring you a lot of fun, for many traditional performance elements, manual transmission is the only vehicle choice, but as the vehicle to the development of electrification, but also announced that the death penalty of manual transmission has arrived, after all, electric vehicles do not need the traditional clutch to shift gears, the general electric vehicle does not even have a gearbox, only more concerned about the performance of the car, such as Porsche and Audi will be installed on the transmission system, but only two gears, but In order to let fans continue to have the fun of manual gear shifting, Toyota's latest patent is to install a manual transmission system on the electric model, but some people think that this is simply redundant.
In fact, even if it is the gasoline car market, the manual transmission has gradually disappeared, after all, the self-displacement system has been very mature, its conversion efficiency is not lost to the manual transmission, plus the dual clutch transmission technology is quite common, the manual transmission has become a special existence, unless you really like the pleasure brought by the manual transmission, will go to the special search for the manual transmission of the car, otherwise the general commercial car model really does not have a manual transmission system, and the electric vehicle model does not need this system, Because of the relationship between the characteristics of the electric motor, even the gearbox structure has been canceled, the general electric vehicle uses a single-speed transmission, even the automatic transmission system is not yet called, basically the speed of the motor determines the speed of the vehicle, and the gear ratio is completely fixed.
But Toyota's latest patent is to install pedals and gear levers that can "simulate" the manual transmission function on the electric vehicle, yes, you read it right, not only the gear shift paddle is so simple, but there is a real clutch pedal and gear lever, but all this is the result of computer simulation, that is to say, no matter what wonderful back gearing technology you make, the vehicle is still a single-speed transmission system, but the computer controls the voltage and magnetism, so that the vehicle also has a sense of frustration when changing gears. Improper operation may also produce jitter, which is really redundant, after all, it is still a single-speed transmission in nature, so why add a pedal and gear lever to affect driving, but also increase the cost.
Of course, all this is only in the stage of patent application, perhaps the future is likely to really have electric vehicles using multi-gear ratio transmission system, so Toyota may be the leader of the electric vehicle manual transmission, but with the current electric technology, such equipment is completely unnecessary, I believe it will not be put into reality, if you still like the fun of shifting brought by the manual transmission, it is recommended to find a gasoline car and enjoy the pure gear shift pleasure.
