I think there will be a few large auto makers that will have a manual EV, just to keep enthusiasts happy with fun driving.
jeeps Ev wrangler prototypes have been manual so far.

Electric motors are very inefficient at low revs. Most cars don't spend much time at low revs with a lot of torque output so this doesn't matter. But a car like a jeep that may haul a high load at low revs up a hill may be more efficient with a transmission.
Of course you have to account for the weight of the transmission and its inefficiency as well to see if it makes sense overall.
(It's not unusually for ICE vehicles converted to EV to retain a manual transmission, but conversions aren't being done in large numbers.)
The motor isn’t just connected to the drive train in 1:1 that won’t end up well for neither the drive train or the motor.
