Will we ever get a mainstream electric car with a manual transmission?

nope

>>17751657
why? even with a DC motor that has a short RPM range, you'd only need 2-3 gears

Closest you're going to get is a Honda Insight hybrid but that transmission sucks from what I've heard.

As far as I know most pure electric cars (outside Formula E and some prototypes) have 1 gear ratio and are direct drive.

most pure electrics are gear reduced, not direct drive

>>17751657
