On groomed trails mileage is reasonable. Off trail and in deep snow mileage
drops incredibly- can go from a 110 miles on groomed trails to running out
of gas in just 20 miles in the tough stuff.
Snowmobiles have power requirements similar to boats or airplanes.
Unlike cars (or trains) that draw little power once they are rolling,
snowmobiles have considerable drag while moving through the snow. Thus,
the range for a given battery capacity can be quite low, especially in
deep, wet, snow
At the end of the day, slednecks want power, acceleration, and the ability
to high-mark (go higher on the hill than the next rider).
If EV sleds provide that, the riders will switch. They currently spend
silly money on turbos and other mods to make it happen.

Some boys just never seem to outgrow their love of making a racket, do they?
Their noisy toys just get bigger and louder and more expensive. :-\

They are out there.. I have a 30 year old son who is a "car guy" that firmly
believes that real cars are LOUD! The louder the better - both engine noise

Perhaps they, or someone here, could tell me how that compares with an ICE
snowmobile's cost. I haven't a clue.
Oh wait, I see later on:

Snowmobiles, and in summer noisy smelly ATVs, are a real nuisance for
those wishing immersion in nature. Not to mention the pollution they
leave behind.
