I still like the idea of a couple gears forward plus reverse. Electronically operated would be really cool.
However, there are some really good ideas out there about using an aftermarket or custom transmission control module to make an automatic torque converter lock-up when needed (pretty soon after a little speed up) while allowing for decent shifts at optimum motor rpm range. Holding lock-up on coast would allow regen, too.
It is beginning to look very doable, as well as cost effective.
