Found a "real world" EV truck towing comparison test..
Featuring F150 lightning (EV) towing vs GMC Sierra (Gas) towing
HEREThe video is a good real world comparison but does have several shameless plugs for their youtube channel sponsors you can forward through.
Cliffs notes version of the video for those that don't wish to spend 24 minutes watching the video..
Setup-
Both towing exact same 6K lb trailer at the same time on same route, speeds and conditions.
Both battery and fuel tank are filled to 100%
GMC has 24 gallon tank
Lightning 282 miles non towing range with full charge, display estimated 160 miles towing the trailer selected with full charge.
Ultimately had to cut trip severely short due to less range than originally estimated and no charging stations close enough on their route that they could make it to and had to turn around and backtrack to the nearest charger they could find.
Vehicle power (acceleration performance) dropped to 90% at 9% battery left. Drove only 85.9 miles from 100% to 9% battery.
Took 45 minutes to recharge from 9% to 75% or so battery charge (but hey, they guy did get to eat a takeout “chicken dinner”in their F150 Lightning).. :R
GMC drove 155.8 mile 65 miles remaining using $5.39 Premium fuel per gallon took 17.371 gallons at $93.79, total fill up took only a few minutes. 8.9 MPG was the GMCs trip mileage and was able to complete the full trip without needing to refill (wow, that thing is a fuel hog for a ½ ton, I just averaged 10.1 MPG overall on a 1600 mile round trip towing a TT loaded to 6500 lbs with my 2020 F250 with 6.2 engine).
Lightning charge cost $27 for the first charge, had to stop on the way back to recharge again since they did not wait for a 100% charge. They did not disclose total electric cost at the end of the video, but since they had to stop and recharge on the way back one can assume they spent close to another $27 for a total trip cost of $72.90 and spent a whopping 1.5 hrs sitting around waiting for the battery to charge.
