A big part of why FWD ICE cars are good in snow is because you have a heavy engine over those front wheels. And conversely, RWD ICE cars tend to have the engine in the front and not over those driven wheels. Back in the days of most mainstream cars being RWD, people would leave extra weight in the boot if snow/ice was expected, to help out.
That's not so applicable to EVs where most of the weight is in the battery, and it tends to be spread around the chassis.
In all cases, suitable tyres are a much bigger factor. Things like BMWs don't have any issues in snow in places that fit winter tyres as a matter of course.
