Electric towed
Our next towed will probably be an electric car. We are considering a Nissan Leaf or a Tesla Model 3 (if it ever comes out and is actually cheaper than the Model S). Has anyone on the forum ever towed...

My Chevy Volt charges easily off a 15 amp 110 V outlet and costs only $1.25 for a full charge if electricity is 10 cents a kilowatt. It will take 8 hours to charge at this 110V rate but it does not overburden the electric infrastructure. Higher charge voltage if available is nice but not necessary. I get 42 miles on a complete charge and will be trading my 2012 Volt for the 2nd Generation Volt coming out this fall. This has been the most trouble free car that I have owned.
We liked our test drive in the volt and it is a great crossover car. However for us we don't or won't need the extended range that comes with the crossover capabilities of the car. Really for us 50- 60 miles is enough although by the time we get a leaf it will be a second generation with closer to 180 mil range. Friend of ours has had a leaf for four years or so. He has put on a whack of miles as a commuter. He is still on his original tires though. He says he has filled up his windshield washer fluid 6 or 7 times over the years and thats about it. :)
