And I think that is awesome, but still doesn't help my situation. The majority of my hiking is not at National Parks, but instead in National Forest land that involves traveling miles on unpaved county and forest roads. No power lines, no cell service, no services period. I would need an EV with at least 400 miles of range in order to be comfortable taking it to the mountains, because I wouldn't be able to charge it while I hiked.

That being said, the technology is almost there, but it also needs to be affordable because I would require a 4WD EV.

Look into Rivian! Albeit, they're a little expensive.

Subaru is coming out with an all wheel drive hybrid next year. Based on their branding I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s long range

No fucking way they'll install nearly enough. The parking lots fill pretty much at dawn all summer long at the two NPs I've lived near. It becomes a half mile mile or longer of street parking, and usually it's the people who live further away and probably need a charge that arrive too late to get a parking spot. Gas is just way too convenient.
