If you look into it, you’ll find that something like a Wrangler Rubicon can actually produce more torque thanks to crazy low gearing. It can only do it at speeds so low that it is only useful for off road rock crawling at a walking pace, but it does it it with drive shafts and differentials that aren’t very special and don’t explode.
I think I’d rather have a series hybrid like they’re using in the Edison trucks. Ideally it could also power some of my house during a blackout.
