As automakers race to electrify their model lineups, the competition to stand out has never been greater. Luckily, thanks to electrification, the opportunities to develop new designs are abundant. But if automakers want to succeed, designers need to seize these new opportunities and start developing the cars of the future. Car companies have followed the same evolutionary design path for decades. Now, with electric cars, everything is changing quickly.Without an internal combustion engine and a fuel tank, there are new design possibilities to explore.
