12 Funniest-Looking Electric Cars ...

Electric cars are cool, hip, interesting, and environmentally-friendly. Automakers old and new are all developing new ways for us to drive, and by far, the most popular hybrid vehicle in the United States is the Toyota Prius. We’re all used to how it looks now, but remember how strange we thought it looked when it first came out? Oh yeah… a lot of these electric cars look weird… no doubt about it… here’s a list of my favorite odd-balls…

Aptera 2e

Even if it did have four wheels, instead of only three, the Aptera would still look odd. It looks futuristic, to say the least… like it would hover, rather than actually drive on the street…

I test-drove this little bug at this year’s auto show in Detroit, and I liked it! It was peppy and easy to maneuver, but… it is so funny-looking!

Toyota Prius

We may be used to seeing them now, but you have to admit, the first time you saw a Prius, you thought it was a little funny-looking! I do actually like the iconic profile, but… I used to think it was weird, too!

Solus COCO Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

This looks a lot like the SMART car to me, except it seems to be missing something… hmm… I hope it doesn’t rain!

Peugeot BB1

This concept car was unveiled last week, and this may be one of the strangest-looking electric cars I’ve ever seen. It seems to be leaning forward, ready to topple right over! And the front wheels are noticeably larger than the back… weird…

Nissan LEAF

It’s hard to pin-point exactly what about the LEAF looks so odd… it just looks stretched out, with difficult proportions… like an elongated station wagon, but I think the design might grow on me, just like the Prius did…

Tango EV

Skinny! This has to be the thinnest, narrowest, skinniest car I have ever seen… Almost like an enclosed scooter! This EV is a two-seater, but unlike other two-seaters (like the SMART car), the driver and passenger sit front-and-back, not side-to-side.

Renault Kangoo EV

I actually really like this unusual design. It’s bubbly, cute, almost like an animated characters or a video game vehicle.

Axon Hatchback

This looks a lot like the original Honda Insight, with the skirting on the rear wheel wells. It must have great headroom, with that camel-hump in the middle!

Honda Insight

Come to think of it, the Honda Insight was really strange-looking, especially since we we’re used to seeing anything this small and stream-lined on the road at the time. Now it looks a lot more like the Prius…

REVA NXR

I really like this one! It’s odd-looking, for sure, but it’s attractive in an almost feline way. The color I’ve seen the most is also a cool lime green… I like it!

TH!NK City

If IKEA made an electric vehicle, this might be what it would look like. Tiny, spare, but strangely adorable. Do we want our cars to look this cute? Maybe…

I almost feel bad for talking trash about electric vehicles when there are so many reasons they’re better to drive than traditional fossil-fuel burning cars. I have to say, there are a lot of bland, boring ones, and even a number of totally hot ones! Do you have a favorite goofy-looking electric car? Which ones have kind of grown on you lately? Please let me know… thanks!

The Aptera 2e looks funny and cute, I'm sure it will be very eye catching if someone drives it on the street, but I love the style :)

OMG they are so funny. :) Sometimes I like small cars, will be great to use in a big crowded city where parking spaces are hard to find. That Peugeot looks interesting to me :)

Wow....the Aptera 2e is definitely a straaaaaange looking vehicle!!! I wonder what maximum speed it can reach. It looks like it could fly over the highway traffic.

The Aptera 2e looks like a Transformer! Love it! Haha

These cars are really funny :) I ;love thir designs and modern ideas. I love the Toyota Prius, it's infact one of my favourite cars. I wouldn't imagine my self in a Tango EV! Lol. Actually I can't imagine any one in this skinny car!

These cars are so funky and cute! My next car will be environmentally friendly & I can't wait to choose from the cars they have out there! I think the BB1 Peugeot is my favorite, just because of how crazy looking it is!!

the Solus COCO Neighborhood Electric Vehicle does look like the smart car...I think i would want to get it more than the smart car though...it's cute. Do they come in Pink?

Hmm, that Peugeot is reallly strange looking! At times I think I'd love a little car like those, like when I'm filling up the gas tank or parking downtown - however, with those massive monstes on the roads today, these tiny cars make me fear death during commute!
