I have always considered these designs to be rather ugly. There are just too many features that don't blend together. I would be interested to know if this is the result of trying to create a new fashion or whether this is what the people want?

Killer looking!

Wouldnt it go more if it had less in it? I find points of interest the old fashion way by looking out the window "hey look at that" waiting still for the aerodynamic ev version of the model t. When are car makers gonna stop making bloat mobiles and start getting back to basics? I really like the tesla roadster but only if it could seat 4

"...they only come in small and, some might say, unattractive packages like the Nissan Leaf ..." says the guy with a moose head trophy mounted next to his Elvis velvet painting. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Jonoxn is right, too many competing curves create a swoopy look but one with lots of dissonance...this car looks like a bicycle helmet. How about taking the designer's commission and using it to take a thousand pounds out of the car? Exchange some wheelbase, cushion thickness, replace sheet metal with carbon panels, and look at every fastener and component for fat. Shrink the whole package while keeping the interior cubes, drill lightening holes, shrink components and reduce the gauge where it isn't needed. Give electro-Lexus owners something they could really use; another 100 miles of range.

The Prius C concept looked phenomenal only to be messed-up for no good reason. I hope the same thing will not happen here...but it probably will. I like blue LEDs but defiantly needs a brightness control.

From one extreme to another.
The Nissan Leaf is too small and is styled like an escape pod. Now they are producing an overly-styled luxury electric that few will be able to afford.
Why not just make a mid market electric? What is wrong with that?
It needs to look like a mainstream car and it should not be stuffed with expensive bells and bloat (like MasterG says) so people can get the benefit of electric without paying for stuff they don't want.

MasterG. The Tesla is based on the Lotus Elise. Tiny car, it will never seat four.
Car makers have serious issues with infrastructure, so it's unlikely they will ever break out of the box.

I just totally gagged seeing the photo of this after the Jag F type.

Seriously, how hard is it to realize that a VAN would have all the necessary space to put enough batteries to go more than 500kms on a charge??!!
Also, all camping sites have electric hook-ups.
So WhyTF have Nissan not done a midsize NV300 electro-camper with a daily driving range of about 500kms????!!!!!!!! (btw I have van-camped for years and hardly ever do more than 350 in a day...why would you when you are on holiday??!!)
Eh? Eh? Eh?
So Nissan just call me, and I will product manage the E-NV300 campervan's worldwide development/launch for you!!!!
