why is it preferred to do an EV conversion on a car that was originally a manual transmission?

I’ve seen this mentioned, but I don’t think I’ve heard a proper explanation. Are there some expected complications with integrating an automatic that should be avoided? I’ve never driven a manual car so if I’m gonna buy a car to convert it’d probably be my first manual drive vehicle.

Presumably you aren’t going to keep the transmission if you convert to EV. Transmissions solve an issue that’s specific to gas/diesel cars – i.e. the efficiency of the engine at a specific RPM range. Electric motors do not have this limitation, they can work at a wide range of RPM.
