Tesla Cars x Snow Chains = Epic Snow Adventure, Why OzExtreme V2 Chains Are Perfect for Your EV Adventure

Tesla Goes to the Snow: Why OzExtreme V2 Chains Are Perfect for Your EV Adventure

Electric vehicles are no longer the future – they’re the present. Across Australia, more drivers are making the switch to EVs, and it’s easy to see why. They’re efficient, sleek, environmentally conscious, and packed with impressive technology. Among them, Tesla Model Y has quickly become one of the most popular choices for Australian drivers.

But with winter here and snow season in full swing, many EV owners are asking the same question:

“Can my Tesla handle the snow safely?”

The answer is yes – especially when you have the right snow chains.

At OzExtreme, we’re proud to offer our V2 Snow Chains, designed to fit a wide range of vehicles—including Tesla models—comfortably and securely.

Tesla’s own recommended snow chains for the 2020–2024 Model Y use premium König chain systems designed specifically for 19” and 20” wheels, emphasizing rear-wheel installation, self-tensioning, and strong traction for snowy conditions.

That’s exactly why our V2 Chains stand out.

Why V2 Chains Work So Well for Tesla Vehicles:

Comfortable Fit for Modern EV Wheels. Tesla wheels are stylish-but they also have unique sizing and clearance requirements. Our V2 Chains fit comfortably on compatible Tesla wheel setups, giving drivers confidence without compromising safety or performance.
Excellent Grip on Snow & Ice. Snow driving isn’t just about moving forward – it’s about maintaining control while braking, cornering, and descending steep roads. The V2 chain pattern provides reliable traction and grip, helping reduce wheel slip on icy roads and packed snow.
Easy Installation. No one wants to struggle with chains in freezing temperatures. Our V2 Chains are designed for easier installation so you can spend less time fitting chains and more time enjoying the mountain.
Built for Australian Snow Trips. Whether you’re heading to Mt Buller, Falls Creek, Perisher Ski Resort, Thredbo Alpine Resort, or Mt Hotham, road conditions can change fast. Carrying snow chains isn’t just smart—in many alpine regions, it’s required. EVs + Snow = The New Winter Trend

More Australians are taking their EVs on winter road trips than ever before. Silent drives, instant torque, and lower running costs make EVs surprisingly enjoyable in alpine conditions.

But even the smartest car needs the right gear.

That’s where OzExtreme V2 Chains come in.

If you drive a Tesla (or any modern vehicle) and you’re planning a trip to the snow, make sure you’re prepared with chains you can trust.

THINGS TO NOTE:

Snow Chains Are Mandatory, In many Australian alpine regions, including Victoria and New South Wales, drivers are required to carry snow chains during the declared snow season, even when driving AWD vehicles. Road authorities can request that chains be fitted when conditions deteriorate, making them an essential part of your winter travel kit.
Why EVs Perform Well in Winter Conditions Many drivers are surprised to learn that electric vehicles can perform exceptionally well in snowy conditions. The battery pack creates a lower centre of gravity, improving stability, while instant torque delivery provides smooth and controlled acceleration. Combined with quality snow chains, EVs can handle alpine roads with confidence.
