If you’re driving in the snow you don’t want a lot of torque starting out. When I’d drive a manual transmission I’d start off in 2nd rather than 1st for this reason.
Electric motors are famous for having maximum torque instantly, so unless it’s got an accurate wheel slip sensor it will apply too much torque and just spin.
Then there’s the problem of it being super heavy. The best car I ever drove in the snow was a Scion xA. It was so light it would float above any accumulation. My motor scooter was even better.
