    They should make it hybrid electric, but make it so that each motor can act independently if needed.

    If one system fails, the other system can carry them on until they can get repairs.

    Minor collision cracked the radiator? No problem. Just use elctric until it gets fixed.

    Even if the engine is sent to fight forest fires and embers burn through the air filter of the ICE, the electric motors can still drive each wheel. Or if battery gives out for whatever reason, they can run on just the ICE.
