Re: practical outside of cities
I'm not at all sure that an EV would be up to the sort of driving conditions a rugged vehicle like the Subaru takes in its stride.
If anything, an EV could be built to be *more* capable, since you tend to have more precise control over torque generation, for example. The mechanical bits of the car could be very similar, with electronics checking for wheel slip and changing power output near-instantaneously.
Whether or not they would build such a vehicle is another matter, and depends entirely on whether or not a market exists for it.
