No, Subaru is known for literally two things: Their AWD system and their boxer engines.

Now you can obviously make a great AWD system with electric motors (a better one in fact), but it won't have the beautiful boxer rumble.

And yes I know one of the reasons for using a boxer over an inline or V engine is the lower center of gravity which EVs are even better at, but again, they will lose their soul along with the boxer engine. Once they go EV, they have no real advantage over any of the other Japanese brands.
