Don't expect ZL1 or C8 ground clearance for a long time.
It will probably be similar to the Mach-E, but a 2 door.

The Ford Mach-E has a ground clearance of 5.7'', and the Mustang has a ground clearance of 5.3'', and the Tesla Model S has a ground clearance of 4.6'', so ground clearance isn't the issue.
It depends on the type and configuration of their battery packs. Some manufactures are using larger pouches, so their battery packs are taller, which can raise the seat height. Look at the Model 3 or Model S, and you can see that the vehicle doesn't need to look like a crossover because it has a battery pack, nor does the seating position need to be high in the air.
The Mach-E has a crossover look because that is what they wanted to make because crossovers sell the most.
