In defense of a crossover:

they can get by with a normal height car too.

The prevelance of tall EVs is down to a couple factors: how dangerous impacts to the battery pack are with Li or Co chemistry EVs, and the increased suspension requirements because of how damn heavy they, and the aim to keep from bottoming out your suspension. Along with the lessened concern about fuel efficiency, making a vehicle into a crossover by extending the suspension instead of having a sedan or classic hatchback just makes sense.

Admittedly though I have a crossover EV that I got specifically for the increased ride height (surprisingly hard to find, really). The additional clearance when driving thru a field or down a driveway (or on a rally course, the real reason I got it...) brings peace of mind. I also have very niche issues: my partner is over 6' and simply does not fit in things like the EV6 or a Prius. I wear 6"+ platform boots frequently so the extra clearance is nice. etc. Mine is about as capable of offroad as my subie was, so "no issue driving across a pasture or down logging roads" but nothing more than that, and that's fine for my purposes.

It also sits in a pleasant niche where I can fit a 2x4 in it with the trunk closed (and the end on the dash lol), but it still fits in a compact parking space, and there's enough passenger space to fit five drunk furries and their cannon in the back, on those evenings where that's relevant.

But admittedly my use-case is not all that common, and the market is slightly oversaturated with significantly less useful crossovers (RAV4, IX, fucking Mach-E).
