This. I have an EA charger 5 minutes from home and it's always so fun to look to see what is charging today, I see the wildest stuff that is just a 'Look!' having seen all the US cars on this list (plus the Nero and Bolt) I would say most EVs look better than most gas cars these days because they allow companies to open their design up a little for some wow.
I would also add the Lyriq (which is gorgeous), the Polestar 2, the R1T, and then just say the Honda E again from your list twice, because WOW, what a timeless design. It is just a Concept car...actually executed.
You can actually buy EV Skoda Octavia and Superb and Kodiaq too...

Almost all of them look exactly the same as petrol or diesel cars. Sometimes the grill looks different as they don't need air-cooling. Is that a big deal?
They don't. There's an element of artificial/forced "futurism" in their appearance, generally: rounded bits in the wrong places, weird curves/shapes to trunks and lights, etc. Not to mention the poor and shoddy interiors. Tesla looks like it was going for a hospital surgery room level of sterility in the cabin--no thanks.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder obviously but I love how my Model 3 looks.
Name a good looking EV.
The EVs hypercars such as the Rivian or the Tesla Roadster Rocket do not count
The Lucid even...that's not a hypercar but it fits the supercar definitions in all markets which aren't NYC or LA
This baby instead... https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1125529_review-2020-chev...
At 59,995$ MSRP. Gas for sure, but who cares?
