I always figured I’d have to give up my manual for an electric car at some point, even if it’s fake I’d still prefer that to just driving an automatic. I don’t really care about engine noise though
EVs don’t have CVTs. They don’t have a transmission at all. Even the reverse is just the engine spinning opposite. The engine is connected directly to the drive shaft.
I think the previous poster means that from a driver perspective they operate the same as a CVT. But it’s not. It’s just a battery, an engine, a drive shaft and wheels.

Electrics aren’t automatic, they have continuous transmissions, there are no distinct gears. It’s not bad, you get used to it.
