Toyota launched a "simulated manual gear" mechanism for pure electric vehicles, which is exactly the same as a manual fuel stop car.

CTOnews.com, December 6 (Xinhua) in February this year, Toyota applied for a new patent for new energy vehicles. The patent mainly simulates the manual shift and other exclusive functions needed by fuel vehicles similar to those needed by fuel vehicles, thus adding a little interest and reason for oil truck enthusiasts to buy electric cars.

Although it is completely incomprehensible to most users, Toyota has made the patent a reality, and only luxury models, such as the Lexus Electrified Sports, have the design.

CTOnews.com learned that Lexus Electrified chief engineer Takashi Watanabe (Takashi Watanabe) described it as "an analog drive with pedals and shift positions to recreate the experience of a manual transmission".

According to the demo video he gave, the gearshift on the prototype (based on the Lexus UX300e) is so realistic that the driver even faces the possibility of the car stalling or slipping backwards at the start of the halfway slope.

"this new project was proposed by some Lexus engineers who summed up the advantages of traditional petrol vehicles and the disadvantages of electric cars," Watanabe said, and eventually found that "they particularly like manual gearboxes."

Watanabe stressed that the prototype is "very interesting" and that the project is under serious development and may be used in future pure electric vehicles. As you can see from the video, the handheld camera even wobbles slightly when the driver changes gears, which confirms that it behaves just like blocking a car manually, which is an eye-opener to users.
