Why must EVs be horrendously over-styled? Is it a regulatory requirement or something?
It's because the two most important metrics of EVs , range + performance, aren't visible.
And - let's be honest here - those metrics are mostly the same across manufacturers due to battery limitations.
So they have to overcompensate with style to stand out from that other EV that uses the same base platform and the same battery chemistry and the same charging system and etc etc.
