Thanks for sharing this! It’s definitely reassuring to see it in action.

I use Blizzak winter tires, and I’ve had no issues at all. I live in a place that gets around 8 feet of snow each year.

That’s great to hear. My partner has been a bit nervous, so this will definitely help put her at ease!

I’ve driven my EV6 RWD in snowy, slushy conditions with temps close to 0°F, and it’s handled fine. The key is having good winter tires and being smooth with your throttle, braking, and steering. The car’s weight distribution is well-balanced, so it doesn’t feel prone to understeering or oversteering due to weight shifts.

Driving an EV in these conditions is a bit different from a gas car. The motor’s response to throttle input is very precise, and traction control doesn’t give the same auditory feedback you’d expect in a gas car. When traction control limits power, you don’t hear the motor straining—it just quietly holds back. That takes a little getting used to, but it’s not a problem specific to the EV6.

I can relate! The lack of noise got me stuck in the sand at the beach in my Niro. I didn’t even realize traction control was holding back until it was too late.

It’s fantastic with winter tires. And if you’re feeling adventurous, Sport mode is a blast—it’s perfect for some fun drifting around snowy corners!
