BMW i3. Just look at that line under the window of the rear door. It's like the designer forgot how to draw for a split second and he never reviewed the design.

Oh, and I never understood why you have to change the design for an electric car? Just use the same design. The electric motor and batteries save space, they don't need more.

- camiller 10y agosometimes for improved aerodynamics, for example the ugly headlights on the Nissan Leaf break up airflow along the side of the car so that the drag caused by the side mirrors is reduced.
- robterrell 10y agoI agree with the GP and parent, and yes the i3 is awful (i3 driver here), but there are many EVs now that look like normal cars: Fiat 500e, VW Golf, Kia Soul, various Fords.
- BoorishBears 10y agoThey look like normal versions of not-that-normal looking cars (I mean, the Kia Soul is pretty far from normal in my book). I'd like to see EVs that just blend in with the average midsize sedans like Camrys and Accords. But obviously these EV designs have to meet some divergent design requirements from those, so maybe it can't be done (cheaply enough?) yet.
