Porsche will reportedly introduce a “Virtual Transmission” option in its 2027 Taycan EV lineup. The system will include paddle shifters that simulate shifting—similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N’s e-shift feature (see video by Edmunds). How do you feel about EVs having fake gear shifts?

By far the most surprising change to the 2027 Taycan lineup is the addition of a fake-shifting system Porsche calls E-Shift. It's a $1030 option across all 2027 Taycan models, except for the Turbo GT, where it's standard.

Here's what the new fake gear shifting sounds and looks like in the 2027 Porsche Taycan. It's called "E-Shift". Porsche: "Drivers can switch between a total of eight simulated gears using paddles on the GT Sport steering wheel. The gear changes are modeled to feel authentic with noticeable gear shift feel, gear-specific drag torque – comparable to the engine braking behavior of a combustion-engined car – and a virtual rev limiter. At the same time, the interior and exterior sound of the Porsche Electric Sport Sound adapts to the respective driving situation depending on the load and wheel speed. The sound tuning varies across the various Taycan derivatives. The system is supplemented by a virtual rev counter and a gear indicator with shift light in the instrument cluster."

You may have heard that the Sun’s magnetic field can shift. When it happens and how long it will take is really difficult to predict but The Royal Observatory in Greenwich have confirmed the Sun is about to start its shift. How will that affect us? Here’s Sophia Herod

Always wonder if in the future 50% of vehicles on roads become EVs, how will everyone charge them? Even today, charging just 5–7 EVs at one place becomes a hassle. Imagine when half the traffic is electric, just 1-2 charging stations everywhere, long queues, and people waiting hours just to charge their cars. Even at hotels, it could feel like you need to stay an extra day just waiting for your EV to get charged after a lineup!! 🤔
