It can still be body-on-frame, solid rear axle, part-time 4WD with low-range transfer case, etc...

Taking an electric vehicle out into the country and then not making it home because there are no charging stations is not my idea of a good time neither is sitting at a charging station for a couple hours waiting in line and then finally charging. EV's are a poorly thought out dumbass idea. BTW according to the people I know in the industry, who are not low level engineers "speculating" as they are doing in an associated thread , lol, EV's are only a middle phase. We will be driving hydrogen vehicles in the future.
