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?

Two reasons:
1. If you have a lot of design work, knowledge, and factories set up for a specific frame/body it’s way easier to just put an electric motor in instead of starting at the drawing board.
2. People as a whole don’t like too much change, keeping all the other bits of the car the same makes it easier to get people to buy the new electric cars.
