    Default Tow Vehicle

    No OEM with an EV truck coming will talk about towing range, it’s a deal killer and bad marketing to be honest about the liability. As stated above, expect 60-70% range loss.

    Then start looking at charge stations or super chargers…….99% are not set up to handle a truck and trailer.

    So like the example above…..dump boat off somewhere, go charge and go back and get trailer.


    Best case let’s say you get 150-200 miles range with towing a boat……how many charges would you tolerate at 45min-90min plus unhooking boat each time? I wouldn’t tolerate 1x.

    Heads up, most EV makers are recommending not letting batteries get under 10% or charge greater than 90% thus further limiting range.

    Give me a 5min refuel and 350 mile range all day every day.

    EV apologists will claim they love the adventure and claim my arguements are just F.U.D, but no way am I ok with adding 4-5 hours to a 600 mile towing trip each way.
