While I agree waiting to electrify is the correct choice here (for so many reasons), this statement:
> If the EV plows aren't drop-in replacements for ICE plows, then they are not fit for service.
Is just false. The same logic would have prevented cars from displacing horses because cars aren't drop-in replacements for horses either. There are almost always tradeoffs for adopting new technologies, and demanding that EVs be strictly superior to ICE vehicles is absurd.
