I’ve never seen an ICE car need two engines to drive all four wheels. Why do EVs need 2 motors? Wouldn’t a transmission be cheaper than another motor?

In order to have a single motor AWD EV you would need a transfer case and drive shaft between the axels. this would all take up space, space which is mainly used to house the battery. It’s probably more expensive to have two motors than to try and design a single motor AWD system for an EV, and it really doesn’t make any sense.
