With an EV the weight is much more likely to be 50 / 50 or even rear biased eliminating the traction advantage for FWD vehicles.
If you throw hills into the mix FWD is a disadvantage because going up hills shifts weight away from the drive wheels. I’ve had to back up hills in snow with FWD cars due to this.
Once curves get thrown into the mix I hate FWD cars and the way they slide into the oncoming lane if the front wheels break traction. Give me rear wheel slides any day over losing steering when the front wheels spin.

Thanks. My biases confirmed better than I would've done.
My preference is rear engine/rear drive, provided the terminal oversteer is dialed down. Never had a problem with 145s on the front, except downhill in the mountains where the brakes overpower the tires.
With 165-50s on the front I've spun it twice on freeway
onramps. Porsches have their problems on offramps, or so I hear.
