Not only EVs, dual-clutch transmission too since that is basically an automated gearbox so there’s no P therefore electric parking brakes are applied when you stop, if that stops working for whatever reason you can’t move the car.

&gt; All [motorized vehicles] should have a mechanical, unpowered, easily accessible emergency way to get the drivetrain disconnected from the wheels so the car can be moved if dead.<p>I&#x27;m boggled that this is not checked for in type-approvals.

A mechanical winding disconnect seem to be an easy solution
