Could it be because of the weight? I was told EVs weigh a lot more than a standard vehicle of the same size due to the batteries. It’s part of why they are expensive to register cause the state charges by weight of the vehicle.

Here's something that a standard ICE powered car can't do, at least not for very long:

My biggest problem with the EV"s is how quiet they are. I walk 4-5 miles every morning and with no sidewalks I'm on the edge of the road.  Those ev's sneak up on me and the dog and we both jump about 3" in the air when they whose past from behind us. LOL

I have to have quite a few vehicles towed that park in temporary construction no parking zones. Haven't had any tow truck drivers complain or treat EVs and different.

I had the key fob die on our backup diesel a few months back, that is as a huge headache and that is as just to try and get around the stupid ignition shutoff.
