There's no reason there couldn't be 4WD/offroad EVs. The problem is that if someone calls for one from a remote location (assuming they can even get a cell signal), it is likely to take hours to get there.
The other problem is the same as I see with many acquaintances who buy fancy 4WD pickups and SUVs, yet never drive them off pavement (or carry significant loads) because they're afraid of scratching the paint. (Of course that's not everyone: some friends have a neighbor who drives his Tesla down the steep dirt road to their place, fords a stream, then climbs another steep bit of dirt to his cabin.)
