>WHY do these vehicles always have to look so freaking dorky?
Someone once explained to me that it was because EVs try and minimize the weight of the chassis to extend the range of the vehicle, and it's difficult to get more traditional curvatures in the chassis while doing that and balancing with safety/cost.
No idea how accurate that is.
- muzika 7y agoThis can’t be true, because most of the dorky features of these cars are definitely not affecting structure/auerodymanics etc.
- petre 7y agoThey affect sales bigtime, nevetheless.
- petre 7y agoExcuses. Build it out of carbon fiber, aluminium or a steel chasis and plastic panels like the Smart. The Smart looks like crap too but it's not like one cannot mold plastic to look good. Just pay some Italian designers to do it.
