The Drive article describes how a manual might work in Toyota's performance hybrids:
"There is still effectively one master cylinder for the clutch. The inlet for that cylinder is the output of a shuttle valve, though. The valve takes two inputs from two separate cylinders and, depending on which cylinder provides more pressure, allows that stream of fluid to get into the master cylinder. One of these input cylinders is connected directly to the clutch pedal. The other is controlled by the car's ECU."

So by using this setup the driver has partial override of the ECU's cylinder if they so choose by applying more pressure on the clutch. It even has an option to make it manual full time, disabling the ECU's cylinder, when selecting Sport Mode. Maybe this can be applied to EVs as well...
