4x4 / all terrain doesn't seem to be much of an issue for electric vehicles. Electric motors are torquier, and it's easy to design drivetrains that use multiple motors. It seems pretty likely that electric trucks will be here by then (Rivian, Cybertruck, freaked-out traditional manufacturers jumping in a few years later).
The bigger issue is probably range, for users that need to work in truly remote areas. But big trucks can carry a lot of batteries, too. I think the number of operators that genuinely need more than ~500 miles or so of range is probably pretty low.
