    But ask a mainstream manufacturer to make an EV car and they look stupid half the time.

    IMO, it’s probably more that they overdesign them. They want the EV to look futuristic and unique compared to their regular cars, but their cars already look like that to some degree, and so they overcook the design into looking like some science fiction vehicle. Take the Ferrari, for example, they tried to make it have a floating arch where the hood would normally be.

    That’s fine for a movie or video game, but in real life, coupled with the practical limits, it just doesn’t look very good.

      That‘s definitely a possibility. People don‘t want futuristic unless maybe it‘s a sports car, and even then it‘s iffy.
