    As far as I’ve seen with EV’s, it’s especially true. Their configurations are usually wildly different from gas cars.

      Yes… They are wildly different…
      …And the drive setups fit well in gas cars.

      Engines, transmissions, and fuel tanks take up a lot of room. People have been mounting electric motors in cars and stuffing them with batteries for decades.

      Some people even leave the whole subframe from a Tesla complete and mount it directly under a car. Obviously different cars are able to accept different solutions.

      Recall that we are not talking about EV cars but converting gas cars to EV.
