Who cares if EVs are the best on snow or not? They do ok, and for most of the population, ok is good enough. Snow performance, weight, or Laguna Seca track times aren't what is slowing EV adoption. It's the horrible battery. Horrible in (almost) every measurable way to what it replaces; a gas tank. It's terribly expensive in comparison, takes way longer to "fill", holds less "fuel", shrinks in capacity over time, requires thermal management, weighs a lot more, takes up more space, and eventually requires replacement. Batteries are better than fuel tanks in that they are cheaper to "fill" and can be "filled" at home (unless you're among half of all people without access to charging at home).
Owning an EV does not preclude someone from owning something more off road capable, either.
