My focus is on the practical side. Yet, I wonder what automotive styling
will evolve to.
It's hard not to notice that the large front grill isn't needed any
more. What will the designers do when they realize they can do something
entirely different with that space ? What about the rest of the car ?
Components can be put pretty much anywhere, meaning the whole overall
design could change radically.
To put this in perspective, I'm thinking of the transformation from
horse drawn coaches to the more-or-less modern automotive style starting
in the '30s. At first, the cabin looked a lot like the old fashioned
coach. The motor stuck on the front, the coach itself barely changed
from the prior version. Slowly the design became more integrated and the
huge fenders disappeared, etc.
With EVs, what will we see next ?

Styling of any object is a matter of personal taste, and I won't try to
claim mine is any more valid than anyone else's, but all I can say is ...
wow. That would definitely have to be an acquired taste. The place you'd
have to acquire it would be Hell.
I'm not surprised that Toyota had a hand, or maybe some other appendage, in
this. Harley Earl was the GM stylist responsible for the 1959 Cadillac's
spectacular tail fins. AFAIC, if Earl were alive today, the current Toyota
Prius and this EV are what he'd draw up the morning after a binge.
