The Dearcc EV10 electric city car is a controversial car from the styling point of view, as it heavily resembles the Opel Adam from the rear quarter. Chinese automotive manufacturers were known to reverse engineer cars from other brands which result in similar looking cars that were often refer to being a replica or copycat when it comes to styling. Despite the size difference and the fact that the Dearcc EV10 has 5 doors instead of 3, the only obvious styling difference is the front fascia.
