I was looking for a new car and recently and gave serious thought to an EV. I found out that there aren't really that many EV sedans, but lots of SUVs and whatever you call the in-between-sized vehicles. I wasn't too impressed with the selection, and they were pricey (like the Hyundai Ioniq).

On the other hand, there's some nice hybrids that generally look like any other sedan out there, and not much more expensive than ICE.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the size of the battery pack? It's harder to get a sufficiently sized battery pack to fit into a sedan form factor. SUVs have an excuse to be large.

I think the size helps, but there's Renault Zoe with an ok-ish 52kWh battery. ID.3 has up to 77kWh, and is still relatively small compared to SUVs.

Sedan sales have been dropping over the last few decades, the market is all in SUVs, which is why that gets priority. Look at Tesla Model 3 sales over Model Y as an example. Basically the same car, but the Y has a taller body (more SUV like).

So with the number of EVs being sold, it makes sense to focus on SUVs for now for most companies, unless they are trying to make a statement car like Lucid.
