    Idk I live where there’s snow on the ground six months out of the year and I like the finesse one gets by being able to let off the gas without braking. Braking can trigger a spin or loss of control in slick conditions.

      +1 Indeed!!! My Leaf has winter tires, a heavy ass battery in the middle and the constant regen braking pressure keeps the car under control. Accelerating, this thing leaves the ICE powered pick-up trucks and SUVs in my mirrors. It really surprised me.

        But one doesn’t want all that torque when starting in snow. Too much and wheels spin out. Not enough and you lose traction and slide.

          Winter tires and don’t press the pedal to the metal.
