  1. In order for your battery to last more than 150 miles of driving … all EV’s MUST be as aerodynamic as possible. That precludes any variation in body styling. They’re all gonna look like a rolling flattened teardrop.

    So, just put any notion of styling variation in your new EV. Just think of them as Soviet cars … they were all gray econoboxes. The State allowed nothing else. Everything must be … equal.

  2. No they don’t. Most SUVs don’t either, Toyota, Honda, Nissan (etc) all look the same. One of the depressing sight around my area are the brand new townhouses they built in a development. Exactly the same on both sides of the street, with the same white SUVs parked outside. You could walk in the wrong one by accident even sober.

  3. I don’t really care to know. To me it’s pretty much the same as being offered to try homosexuality. The “you never know, you might like it” approach to life doesn’t compel me. I’ll leave electric cars to folks who like trying different things, because, you never know; they might like it.

  4. Read any automotive review in an automotive magazine and they will invariably mention the sound of the engine. A bad sounding engine does nothing for sales. A good sounding engine enhances the sales figures and some research suggests it does the same for testosterone production.
