Not sure auto makers would offer one in an EV - they have enough problems with batteries.

A bit of poking around reveals that Tesla cars, at least, don't HAVE a transmission in the traditional sense. The motor seems to be directly connected to the wheels.

that was one of the selling points for EVs ... no moving parts, so no repair costs for motor, transmission, cooling system, gas pump, etc... electric motors just get swapped out
