I was kind of serious. If you were to put the right tires on one of those things I bet they would do quite well in the snow. People think because it’s all wheel drive they should be able to go, nothing could be further from the truth. My F350 is absolutely scary in the snow with all season tires. Put on good studded snows and 1000# of weight in the back and it’s a bulldozer.

With EV's there's still the issue of the cold both reducing range and slowing charging. To test the theory, on Christmas EV we had a rare cold snap in which our low was 9°F and the high was low 20's. Because we weren't driving for 24 hours (we were already at family's house) I watched the battery level affected only by cold weather as the EV sat outside. The battery level dropped around 5%. That was just one harsh day of cold (harsh to us in Alabama). Imagine how much the battery level would drop if the temp never got into double digits all day.

And on the EV forum I frequent for tips, the true believers in warmageddon are aghast at how poorly their EV's perform in the cold. No one should get an EV without first doing his homework on the EV's strengths and weaknesses and if their normal situations play up the EV's strengths or the EV's weaknesses.

I have to say that BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 Alpine Rated Tires made a believer out of me. Lasted a long, long time. After 50k they were hardened and became noisy but man were they a great tire for every situation. They are expensive but they lasted me so long on an Xterra I felt the cost was justified.
