Until batteries improve aerodynamics are everything for EVs. This lends itself to one shape. Once you can get batteries with 400+ mile range and under 30 minutes for a full recharge then you can probably start letting up on the aero a bit.
Maybe make it like a 1980's car with everything retrofuturistic inside. That would be cool.
I mostly just want them to go full ham on buttons and tactile controls and have the displays be monochromatic lighting instead of these bright colourful things we get now.
Look at the Audi TT/R8 and the Bugatti Chiron:
Those are some hideous interiors though.
I'm perfectly fine with having a center touchscreen, as long as it is ONLY used to control media, satnav, reversing camera, and access obscure vehicle settings. Everything else should have physical knobs and dials, even volume control and play/pause
This is what we could've had with Tesla. But no. Elon is too much of a sperg.
Chinese EVs to be fair are disposable costing $10K or so. Tesla claims to be a luxury marquee.
The general stagnation of battery technology kind of limits what design you can do for cars. When aerodynamics is all EVs can have to boast a 300+ mile range, a computer mouse look is what'll be utilized.
Realistically, the only way you'll see EVs with these looks is if you to a total conversion mod on an existing car, which is always going to be a joke in terms of range, even if the 0-60 is lightning fast. There's a lot of older cars that would be great candidates for an EV or inline-hybrid conversion, just for the giggle of it. The DeLorean would be one, and from a quick look over the interwebs it seems there's a few people who had the same idea. There's even a conversion kit. Madness.
You take an already very heavy steel car, and slap a bunch of batteries in it. I love it!
I wish we had bore $10K vehicles here, but small and cheap cars are banned by the California emission regulations.
