Words mostly fail me. The best I can come up with is “extreme industrial” or maybe “pill box on wheels”. Take a look: [Bollinger pickup](https://electrek.co/2019/09/26/bollinger-unveils-new-b1-b2-electric-utility-truck-and-pickup/) It’s an electric truck, so is this the wave of the future? Well, I don’t think Tesla’s truck will look anything like that so we’re probably safe. ---

Utilitarian? I like it _if_ the design is based on easy repair/maintenance. I’d love to own a vehicle built with ease of care in mind, totally ignoring visual appeal. ---

Obviously an attempt to crack the Filipino jeepney market. They got the basic shape right but they need to make it more colorful with a lot of lights. I think Douglas MacArthur Shaftoe would approve of this one, except for the electric part. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Utilitarian? That may have been the word I was searching for. Well, it does have the advantage that to repair body damage, you just need some sheetmetal and rivets. Lots of shops will be able to do it. But this isn’t the strangest looking EV I’ve seen on that site. Some time back, there was a van (at least they claimed it was a van) that looked for all the world like a bicycle helmet on wheels. I’m pretty sure it was just a prototype, since I haven’t seen a picture of it since. I wish I’d saved a link to that article (I tried to find it later, but failed).
