The idea is that because an EV doesn't have an engine/transmission, it doesn't really need a hood. So the idea is that you simply remove the hood and making all that space "interior" space instead. This technically would reduce design complexity and allow for access while inside the vehicle, minimizing aerodynamic drag, and maximizing interior volume. Would this even be possible?
Really nice cars often come with a frunk because the engine is in the back.
So, if you get rid of the frunk, you can do this with an ICE car.
Then you're just failing every safety test, but with how, uh, some specific EVs already struggle with that...I don't think it matters if you pay the right people the right amount of money.
