Abstract
This paper explores the transformative impact of electric vehicle (EV) technologies on the future of automotive design. Asthe automotive industry shifts towards electrification, key design considerations arise, including structural adaptations forbattery placement, enhanced aerodynamics for improved efficiency, and the integration of lightweight materials.Furthermore, the evolution of user interfaces and the emphasis on sustainability shape the design landscape. Innovationsdriven by EV technologies, such as modular design and smart technology integration, offer new paradigms for vehiclefunctionality. Through case studies of leading manufacturers, this research highlights successful design strategies andidentifies emerging trends that will define the next generation of vehicles. Ultimately, this paper underscores the need forautomotive designers to embrace these changes to meet evolving consumer demands and regulatory standards, paving theway for a more sustainable and technologically advanced automotive future.Keywords: Electric Vehicles (EVs), Automotive Design, Battery Technology, Aerodynamics, Lightweight Materials, UserExperience (UX), Sustainability, Modular Design, Smart Technology, Innovation, Autonomous Vehicles, Human-Machine,Interface (HMI), Design Trends, Environmental Impact.
