It makes the most sense. The base models of Mercedes' EQA and EQB electric EVs are also FWD, just like their gas counterparts. Even the newly announced base model of the electric-only Polestar 2 is FWD due to the fact that the vehicle sits on parent Geely's CMA platform which was originally designed for FWD/AWD combustion vehicles.

While it is theoretically possible to build RWD EVs on a previously FWD/AWD platform, it does not appear that this approach has found favor.
