Some electric cars do have an unusual appearance for a number of reasons.
They may be more aerodynamic to reduce the energy consumption. Some use large quantities of non-rusting materials so that the car body can last longer because electric drive trains tend to have very long life spans. Some have unusual shapes to accommodate a large battery pack low in the vehicle to lower the center of gravity, allowing for better handling. And some EV makers just want to be sure that you know that this vehicle is something special and worth a second look.
