Uhhhh, depends on how you define "good". Traction? Excellent. But it also exacerbates ones of the biggest hangups for EV's: range. Especially if it doesn't have a heat pump. On a freezing day, driving in snow, your range could be literally cut in half. But this is one of many reasons the "most Americans only drive 30 miles" argument is bullshit. I always advocate for getting more range then you think you'll need, because those estimates are only under near-perfect conditions.
