That’s an excellent point. The whole process seems a lot more expensive and difficult to do then I thought it would be. The site I looked at had 20kw to melt 400 sq. feet. My driveway is 2500, half width would be 1250, huge savings but still a lot.
I'm not Canadian, but you're close -- my house is only 16 kilometers north of the Canada-Michigan border, and my great-grandfather was Canadian.
Do you know why?
There's more than one, and they're called "heat-transfer fluids", not "antifreeze".

Plus the cost of the 12,000 gallons of fuel it will consume during its lifetime.
I was thinking of an EV, I heard they have a lot of torque.
They work pretty well, at least once ! LOL!
About the same as gas and diesel cars.
At least you can put them out most of the time!
That's certainly true, but the question is how much of it can you deliver to the wheels before they slip on the pavement?
Actually they would probably work better short term than an ice vehicle. They are heavier, weight is better balanced front to rear, and if all wheel drive. Other than short range in the cold.
like this one.That’s something I didn’t think about. I have seen unibody vehicles with plows on YouTube. Again we’re talking about a homeowner not commercial plowing. I have seen plows on Quad 4 wheelers. I would think a Chevy blazer would rank somewhere between a Quad and an F350.
The 4 wheelers work great I use one for moving snow. They do sort of have depth limits though. You can go through a foot of snow if not too far to push it. If drifted really deep you are probably out of luck. That is when you are probably waiting for that hired plow service to dig you out.
