I thought until recently that the 1963 DeSoto was probably the ugliest car ever made.
IMHO all cars today look basically alike from the side and all are very ugly from the front.
Although that DeSoto was ugly you could tell from any angle what it was. This was true with
all vehicles until recently.
We had a '58 DeSoto - ugly as sin but completely recognizable and had identity. Most of today's cars are just cut out of the ugly as sin cloth.
The concern that I have heard expressed most often about electric vehicles is the refueling/
recharging time. If one could pull into the station and recharge in the few minutes it takes
with an internal combustion engine I think resistance would disappear very quickly.
My son has one of those autos with both gas and electric power and is very pleased with it.
Maybe those are part of the answer.
I think that rapid recharge is coming, but it's unclear regarding the business model on selling recharging - just who, how, and where that's going to work is not resolved.
