I’m a bit worried about having instant torque on a slippery surface. Seems like it would break traction more easily.
But, yeah, the range reduction caused by heating is also a consideration.
The traction control loop with electric motors is way way faster than using the brakes and hydraulic clutch packs for traction control. EVs can even modulate the Regen braking to improve traction downhill. The Model 3 I drive is legitimately one of the best cars I have ever driven in the snow as far as traction goes.
My kia EV6 has a snow mode for that very reason.
