I will say my FWD EV isn't as good in snow as my old AWD/4×4 Jeep, or even my old Ford Taurus. I do notice the extra weight in snow, and the centre of gravity is closer to the battery pack, not the "engine", at least middle not front. I think a RWD EV might be a little better.
Still, just drive to the conditions. I'm not going to cross the Coquihalla or the Malahat in winter conditions either.
