An electric drive direction confirmation system and method for a vehicle are provided. The system and method include receiving a gear selector input signal corresponding to a gear selection from an electronic gear selector on the vehicle, determining whether the gear selector input signal corresponds to a directional movement gear selection, and, when determined that the gear selector input signal corresponds to the directional movement gear selection, sending a drive command to temporarily urge the vehicle in a direction corresponding to the gear selection.
