Apart from the capitalist-economic reasons, why we don't have 100% electronic cars?
and, if they are like the one in the picture, why they look so awful?

I like the Tesla myself...

Many of the electronic cars require lighter frames because they suck. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they are intentionally trying to emphasize this environmental friendly selling point with shitty looking cars...
