RWD EV is probably better than FWD ICE. They'll generally have better weight distribution and the fine-grained control over the torque is better. Anyway, if grip is important, you might as well go for AWD. The difference from RWD to FWD is tiny, if any (I also live in snowy-lands and have driven both). But going to AWD, especially with the dual motor AWD you get with EVs, is a world of difference and probably worth the upgrade.
