Trunk space in electric vehicles (EVs) can vary widely based on vehicle design, platform, and drivetrain layout.
Main Reasons for Limited Trunk Space
- Drivetrain Components: Dual-motor AWD models may lose trunk volume due to the rear motor and inverter placement.
- Battery Placement: While batteries are usually under the floor, in some cases they slightly raise the floor level, reducing overall cargo volume.
- Design Choices: Sloping rooflines, sporty silhouettes, and aerodynamic priorities can reduce trunk height and shape.
- No EV-Dedicated Platform: EVs built on adapted gasoline car platforms often have less optimized interior and cargo space.
Bonus: Look for a Frunk
Some EVs offer a front trunk (frunk) that adds extra storage, helping offset limited rear cargo space.
