Maybe if the EV is an all-terrain truck because roads and bridges etc. are still vulnerable.

All terrain vehicles are sufficiently slow and visible that they're arguably more vulnerable in most cases.
In Ukraine electric buggies have been used for frontline mobility because they're quiet, the wheeled military vehicles are in demand because combined with even a dirt road they're a lot faster getting around - i.e. one feature of the HIMARS is that it's not tracked.

We're only a few years away from your electric car self driving itself to a helipad and flying you straight across a city in a pre-planned route on a quad-copter that just docks on your car.

We’ve been a few years away from personal helicopter transport for my entire 34 year lifetime

Don't worry, the moment you get it, it won't be anything special and people will act like it's always been around. Or at least that's what I've come to expect after watching new technology show up in my lifetime.
