Going from EV to automatic is nothing special, but to manual I found I subconsciously used engine breaking like EV, occasionally stalling it!

I learned to drive on a manual car, and all my cars were manual for the past ~20 years. My current car is an ev/auto.

For me the learning curve was remembering to _not_ press the brake with my left foot, thinking it's the clutch when I'm mentally downshifting or stopping. A left foot on the brake thinking it's the clutch is for sure a powerful thing!
