    I found this article from last year showing some interesting models. You’ll see the most popular EVs range from more classical designs to weird and retro-futuristic.

    Some of them also make futuristic noises when they drive around… The noise isn’t needed at all because the motor is pretty much silent, so they’re added by manufacturers so you hear them coming. I swear they sound like something out of a '90s sci-fi flick.

      Hope those are customizable. Can’t wait to load up the TIE Fighter engine sound.

      The Wuling mini EV is getting very popular in South East Asia as well. It costs less than a third of Hyundai Ioniq and can be charged from standard wall plugs making it easy to charge anywhere without worrying about car charging infrastructure.

      That Wuling Hongguang Mini EV is so adorable and looks like some sort or VW bus/classic car hybrid. I would totally drive that thing.

      Also those BYD cars look like ripoffs of (in order) Kia/Hyundai (Qin Plus), Honda (Han), BMW (Dolphin), and Chevrolet (Yuan Plus)
