In these cars, the trunk just swapped places with the engine, and the front was sometimes used for radiators. In purpose built electric cars, both the upper rear and upper front of the vehicle are free from components, everything drivetrain related sits below the passengers, so you could have two trunks (like Model S) or just cut the overhangs altogether.
