Imagine how many they could have sold if it wasn't so fugly.

  It's fugliness is part of the appeal. If it looked like any other Nissan (Sentra for example) then people wouldn't know you paid extra for an EV. For example, a friend has a Camry hybrid. I never knew it was a hybrid until it silently left our parking lot. He paid $4000+ (I think) extra and has nothing to show for it. EVs on the other hand you, see them, you recognize something that ugly could only be an EV.

    >He paid $4000+ (I think) extra and has nothing to show for it. Besides the fuel economy that will hopefully pay for that investment over time. Cars that shout "I'm saving polar bears!" may be needed to get enough early adopters but then hopefully the technology has enough benefits on its own that it becomes just another feature that people value for its own sake.
