General thoughts on Hybrids
SLIGHTLY off topic as I'm asking more about T(oad)Vs rather than T(ow)Vs. BUT, this is the motorhead sub-forum - engines and drive trains and MPGs and all that fun stuff. What do "we" think abou...

Another reason: Some plug-in hybrids can be flat towed. I'm not aware of any full EVs that allow flat-towing aside from very limited emergency towing.
You are right about that and I would be much more interested in a Tesla if it could be flat towed. Even more interested if the Tesla could be programmed to use regen to assist the brakes on my motorhome and charge itself. And even more interested if it could regen enough to power itself up hills and on starts. I don't know how that would be so different from ordinary driving. Of course, the same would apply to any hybrid as well.
Probably less than 1% of towable cars sold actually wind up being towed.
In theory, it sounds simple but one oops that causes a crash...just not enough reward in exchange for the potential risk unless they spend many millions designing and testing.
