best looking electric cars image
John P
It seems as though most hybrid and/or electric cars built by the big manufacturers are very ugly to look at. Why is this? One could almost get the impression that they don't want them to sell.
Answer
Your question doesn't make much sense to me.
Most hybrids look identical to the non-hybrid model version. The only hybrid that looks different is the Prius, because it has no non-hybrid version, and is designed that way in order to make it the most aerodynamic car on the road, which is part of the reason it's got the best fuel economy available.
The Civic hybrid looks like the Civic, the Explorer hybrid looks like the Explorer, the Camry hybrid looks like the Camry, etc. etc.
As for EVs, for one thing again they have to make them aerodynamic, and there's not a big market for new technology anyway, so they're trying to make the cars appealing by making them look 'futuristic' or 'cool'. What you think is 'ugly' another person will think looks cool.
That being said, if you want a standard (some might call boring) looking EV, there is the Miles Javlon and Phoenix SUT:

Tesla the way to go for an electric car?
Jepedo47
Ive been looking at purchasing an electric car recently and have found tesla motors to have some banging cars. However I couldn't find many others. So, dose anyone out there know of any company's that are currently selling electric cars that don't look super strange?
Answer
There is the global project called Better Place that is aiming to mass produce electric vehicles that cost the same as regular cars because you buy the car not the battery. They are working to supply the infrastructure to charge and swap batteries all powered by renewable and costs less than petrol. If you check out these sites itâll all be explained. It might not be happening near you yet but if you check out the sites youâll find out when you can access the future of private automobiles.
