Interesting, I didn't realize that so many popular EVs in the US just look like normal cars.
The US is only 5% of worldwide EV sales, and things are very different outside the USA! Out of the top 20 EVs worldwide last year, only three are sold in the USA - the Tesla Model 3 and Y, and the VW ID.4.
There's big differences in price, too. The BYD Seagull (#5 most popular) is $8k in China or AU$24k (US$17k) including tax in Australia.
