EV snowplows isn't a case. I'd be interested if any discussion of electrifying included plowing.

One thing that's clear: until battery-powered EVs are able to handle real muscular work (snow removal, hauling, plowing, etc.), diesel engines will be purchased, maintained and fueled by all levels of authority. Exactly how will roads be maintained without graders, pavers, etc.?

It's not about muscle. Electric absolutely mops the floor with diesels. It's simple battery capacity.
