Why the double standard on beating a dead horse? There is still people in another thread thinking that an electric Semi will be built and go 621 miles on one charge. LOL What a Semi thread is doing in an RV towing forum I have no idea?
This is a towing forum and we discuss towing rigs. Be that gasoline, diesel, propane or electricity.
We discuss the good points and the bad. (hell, I remember years ago some kid came on this forum and he was going to put a 5th wheel hitch in the trunk of his Firebird and tow a trailer with it. Anybody remember that dude or the thread? LOL)
It's certainly nice to know what some of these trucks will tow and how good they will do it. It's great to know that that the math I worked out was proven by several magazines and and online videos. Around 100 mile and you are done for with an electric truck towing an average size trailer that a F150 would tow.
So if you want to take a month or two to go coast to coast with your electric pickup and trailer and charge for weeks doing it, so be it. Please don't get all butt hurt if someone says that sucks and I would never do that because I don't have the time to do it.
Speaking of charging. I noticed at two of the campgrounds I'm going to this week has in bold in their rules: "If you have an electric vehicle, DO NOT charge at your campsite. There is a charging station down the road that you can use for this purpose."
I saw that one coming a mile off.
