Are there any Hybrid/Electric cars that are 6 speed manual?

Question

I was wondering if there any hybrid cars that are 5 or 6 speed manual (stick shift)? Would it make sense to make hybrid 5 speed manual vehicles considering 5 speed manual cars are cheaper on gas but does it make a difference to have a 5 or 6 speed that is hybrid (electric)? if that's even an option.

Answer 1

There is a 5-speed manual electric car:

But currently no other manual hybrids or electrics that I'm aware of.  The thing is that while making a transmission manual improves mileage for internal combustion engines, generally that's not the case for electric motors.

Answer 2

Electric motors tend not to have gears, as they can run from 1RPM (unlike internal combustion engines which idle around 1000RPM) all the way to higher RPMs needed to get a car going at a descent speeed.
