I think the issue is having EVs that have more power then needed because beating a supercar is funny. If they made a small EV with just enough power for highway driving and good gearing for range you could have a good allrounder. But nope, gotta be giant, heavy and stupid fast.

Exactly an EV like this might actually be extremely practical for offroading as electric engines are so much simpler mechanically and you don’t need complex transmissions like you need with gas engines. Image
Or go smaller and have trailered EV polaris type vehicles that you can just plug in when you park them in your driveway/garage.
Yeah it is so stupid, but I mean so is the fact that there aren’t car companies selling toyota yaris like EV vehicles for stupid cheap that aren’t anything special but are even cheaper to run longterm than a yaris or honda fit and thus superbly useful.
Taking a step back, cars aren’t the real answer, busses are (at least for most of the US).
