From what I've read, Dodge did not have anything to do with the design of the Dodge ev. It uses the Lotus Europa chassis which has been out for a while now. Supposedly, Tesla at least made an effort to change some styling cues from the Lotus it was based on (Elise or Exige, I can't remember), but Dodge didn't even bother.

I don't mind. The Europa is bigger and more practical than the Elise, and we don't get the Europa in the US, so it's new to us.

I love the idea of an electric vehicle as a sports car, but I have my doubts that Dodge can actually implement this concept properly.
