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 !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

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?

If you don't enjoy the sport of driving, you probably don't want a manual.

I'm interested in this. I feel like driving is a more connected experience with a manual and always prefer it. But that's what it is: a preference.

It's not very often people express that what they think isn't absolutely the only opinion people should have and just wanted to say I appreciate that you're willing to admit that.
