The idea, I guess, is to go where no one else goes.
Western manufacturers have covered the sub-compact, compact, compact crossover, medium-sized sedan and luxury sedan range, as far as EVs go, but no one is building an MPV-sized EV, with all the space benefits that suggests.
The e6 sells decently in China, where it's used as a taxi and service vehicle. And for that, foregoing ultra-slippery aero for more headroom and luggage room makes sense.
