because EVs need space for the batteries and a Sedan doesnt offer a lot of space for them.
go sit in the rear of a model 3 or model S as an adult and you can easily lick your knees in your normal sitting position.
the alternative is what Porsche and Lucid did where they dont put any batteries into the rear passenger foot well but that makes production more complex and means you need to put these batteries somewhere else.
The vast majority of cars never see anyone in the back seat. The buyer demographic for sedans is there.
However, what the customer wants (much less ‘needs’) has very little to do with what the industry is willing to produce.
Currently it’s just that SUVs sell well and traditional automakers aren’t making a lot of EVs…so they might as well make SUVs because there they make the most profit.

beside this SUVs sell better.
I’m sitting here giggling at the mental image of back seat knee lickers
I have salty knees.
