Finally, Pakistan is now getting an electric evolution, a decade after the West. Last week, two worldwide EV giants,, officially announced their brand launch in Pakistan. Analyzing past car launches and trends, we project that future cars to be launched in Pakistan will mainly be all-electric.

But have you ever noticed the design language of these modern EV cars? They all look the same fundamentally. Let’s break it down! Here’s the start pack of every modern EV car in the world.

Thin Tubelight Like Headlights

Make the headlight and backlight in the shape of a tube light. Done! Your car is now 100% modern and will give an EV aura from 10 km away. 

We dug through the internet to find out who invented and started this trend of thinner lights in modern cars, but we couldn’t find any solid facts or history about that.

Our theory is that future-based video games and movies inspired these headlight styles. If you notice, all robots, future movies, and video games set in 2050 or above show typical self-driving cars without a steering wheel. Those cars have signature slim headlights, and we think that’s where the trend of slim headlights in EV cars came from.

LED, laser, and projector technology has also made it possible. Although they are as slim as paper, most high-budget EVs use laser and projector headlights, and their intensity is enough to temporarily blind you if you stare directly into them in high-beam mode.

Not sure which genius thought it would be a brilliant idea to remove all the physical controls and buttons and embed them into one big TV-like infotainment. It sounds cool and futuristic, no doubt, but it’s not practical at all.

Our brain is used to develop muscle memory for the things we regularly use. So when you have physical buttons in the car, over time, you start to build muscle memory for it. For example, when a car in front of you slows down, you slam on the brake without thinking about it, right? That’s the muscle memory. 

Similarly, when you have physical buttons in the car, you build muscle memory for them, but that’s impossible on a touchscreen. You’ve got to look at the screen for every single operation, and everyone knows how annoying it is during the drive. 

Although main operations like D, R, N, P, and S have physical levers in modern EVs, other operations like AC controls, driving modes, locking and unlocking doors, seat adjustments, charging controls, and other mechanical and electronic functions are controlled from a touchscreen. 

Weight of EV = A 22 Wheeler Truck

An average C-segment EV car weighs about 2,100-2,400 Kg. For instance, a Honda Civic weighs 1,300 Kg, and a Toyota Corolla weighs 1,270 Kg. The culprit is a lithium-ion battery in the EV situated on the floor of the vehicle. Unfortunately, that’s something that a car manufacturer can’t control. Lithium batteries contain too many aluminum foils wrapped in a cylinder cell. These foils hold the charge that eventually powers the motors. As a downside, these dense batteries add immense weight to the car. 

Fake Grills, Why?

We don’t understand the purpose of fake grills in an EV. In regular ICE cars, these grills serve the purpose of cooling the engine and allowing the radiator to suck cool air. In EVs, the motors are situated under the car, near the front or back axle, and batteries are also located on the floor of the car. On the front, you only get a frunk (trunk in the front). So, what’s the purpose of these fake grills? These don’t even have holes; they just have an aesthetic function.

So these were just some starter pack of designing an EV cars that are non-sense in our POV. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
