It’s nice that the option exists, but why does it need to look like that? Between that and the BMW i3, why do EVs need to look like a bean?

Americans buy crossovers, so they make ot look like a crossover. Small is efficient, so Americans get the beans

Aerodynamics dictates shape. It's not just EVs. Stuff in that size range tends to have that bean shape, like the Mazda2, Smart4two, or Fiat 500.
