Actually a good modern update of a 70s classic. |

Yep, first time I see an acceptable evocation of the past. When you see what Renault is doing with the Five…

Dont miss the Zoe! Quite an experience in a driver's life. Still I don't catch the spirit of the EV's designers and the hydrogen Toy is a pure nugget of bad taste imo.

I had a thought about EV's on my way to work this morning. The question I had was, are there any EV's that you see on the road and say "that is a good looking car"? And I mean this in an aesthetics kind of way, powertrain makes no difference here. I see combustion powered cars all the time that I think look good, but EV's..... Off the top of my head the only one I can think of that I genuinely like is the KIA EV6. The pictures don't do much for me, but in real life it has different proportions than anything on the road, and it is more wagon than suv.

I don't like the rear of the EV6 but I do like the front. I think the Hyundai Ionic 5 looks good. The Rivian truck is pretty sharp. The Ford Lighting is fine if you like F-150s. These all look like normal cars.
I never saw an Honda e and they've been discontinued but I thought they looked great. |

Everything on a Rivian is fine EXCEPT the horse collar headlights. That's huge downer to the rest of the truck
And some of the Polestar and Fiskers are interesting, nothing extraordinary but nice design and good colors |

Auto China fair first reports talk about a raging battle between EVs makers. Prices are going down over there. As to find a working plug or get rid of traffic jams it seems they have not found a proper solution so far.

Forgot about Lucid, they're not too bad but some are TERRIBLE with contrasting roof and pillars from the body. Saw one maroon over silver, it was not good |

evidently a half million people every year like them. I find it to be an incoherent design with folds and creases everywhere.
EV sales are slowing over here too but it's because they don't make sense for a huge portion of the population. Hybrids and extended range EVs are a sensible solution but aren't being incentivized by the government like EVs are. If you live in a rural or suburban area in the biggest oil producing country in the world with cheap fuel, why bother? |
