Regardless if those specific examples succeed, we’re just at the beginning of EVs and we can already see the unique ideas floating.

20 years from now when Kia, Buick, and BMW could all offer the same 500hp and 100 “mpg”? The competitive pressure will push harder.

they’re going to go back to looking like normal cars once the novelty wears off.

I think the exact opposite. EVs will allow completely new types of vehicles and as battery and motor tech flattens competitive advantage, automakers will lean in to unique vehicles.

Canoo, Aptera, Citroen Ami, to a lesser extent the VW Buzz (bus) and Cybertruck.
