Why Every EV Brand Feels Identical
As a branding curator, I rarely see trends that reshape entire industries, yet this analysis demands attention. Koto’s report exposes a vital paradox: drivers love electric power, but not the brands behind it. Tech convergence, uniform interfaces, and similar design languages are eroding distinctiveness, so buyers choose on price and specs, not personality.
Koto applied an 18 point brand assessment to ten leading EVs, and the results are revealing. Some makers score high with identity despite modest sales, others lead sales but lack brand clarity. The report asks three urgent questions about product identity, heritage, and coherence across fragmented journeys. It shows where design can restore emotional connection.
Read this piece if you care about branding’s future in mobility. It frames practical, creative moves leaders can make to regain distinctiveness, and it is smartly designed to illustrate its points. This is essential reading for brand strategists, designers, and decision makers shaping the next decade of cars.
I recommend exploring the visuals and case studies, they reveal subtle identity signals brands can exploit. It is a concise wake up call for anyone building meaningful automotive brands. Read it to sharpen strategy.
