I want an EV really badly - just not the current ones. Give me a Subaru crosstrek type vehicle with 400 mi range, I.e a car with 8-9 in ground clearance and 4 wheel drive. If it’s 40-45k that’s okay.

Not sure what the ground clearance will be on the upcoming rugged edition of the smallest Volvo ev crossover, but that could be getting close to my requirements.

Isn’t Subaru planning an EV cross trek? There are lots of SUV-style EVs, you have to look harder to find sedans like the Model 3.

Subarus have more ground clearance than most SUVs

They haven’t acted like it. They are discontinuing the plug in crosstrek and their only electric vehicle is a Toyota.

Usually when I want a car like that I'm about to drive through a small river or something. How well insulated are the batteries in an EV?
