I've test driven a Hyundai Ioniq which comes with a six speed automatic transmission and if it's a representative example then I guess it's still not "it" - at least in my view.

There's a level of smoothness and instant response that I haven't seen in cars which are not directly propelled by an electric motor.

6 is not enough. You need to test drive a BMW 7 or 8 gear transmission.

But I have never driven an electric car, so I can only compare with other automatic cars.
