I’ve always wondered why electric cars are designed to resemble regular cars so closely, even though they don’t require the same components like the internal combustion engine. It seems like this would be an opportunity to create a more practical and efficient design. Can someone explain why electric cars are shaped the way they are?

In part, because the entire build world expects cars to be a certain shape. You won’t be able to use much of the infrastructures like parking spaces and drive throughs if the car is completely different from other cars.
There are also a lot of regulations about cars that are written based on the default shape of cars and trucks.
Another part is that much of the shape of the car is not based on the engine but on other factors like aerodynamics and safety in case of a crash etc.
Finally it is what consumers expect.
