I do agree that for off road EV may not be a wise choice.
If by “off road” you mean rural vs urban, maybe.
It’s funny how the closed minds refuse to acknowledge that if one booked a new EV truck/suv to any sort of substantial trailer, there are many paved roads in both of our countries where it wouldn’t make it to the next charging station or at a bare minimum you’d be chasing charging stations and praying you made it there.
Well, you wouldn’t be “praying you would make it there”. You would know before you left wherever you are exactly what charge you would arrive with at your destination. If it says you can’t make it and you leave anyway then you are going to the wrong destination or have the wrong vehicle to get there. It’s not that hard. Right tool for the right job.
So do I understand correctly? Before you leave your EV knows whether or not you will have the seat warmers on (and how many butts), whether or not you will need the windshield wipers (and at what speed and for how long), what cabin temperature you will want (taking into consideration outside temp), and how long you will be stuck in traffic due to a bad accident. That’s a pretty amazing car!
