I mean I kind of get it; electric cars need to have their own thing going for them. Strictly mimicking a gas vehicle's design is a missed opportunity for designers to do something different. The grill on the front of an ICE-powered car, for example, is purposefully there to cool the engine. You don't need a grill sucking up air with an electric car, so you can omit that design feature.
Though I will say I appreciate the early Tesla Model S for having the design element present while ensuring it wasn't buggering with the aerodynamics.
