I can see from the reply’s that many here won’t have a problem adapting to RVing with an EV 1/2 ton towing a suitable trailer. Many seem laid back with their travels. And those only travelling a few hundred kilometers a day wouldn’t even have to stop to charge. Very occasionally we dead head 500 or 600 kilometers or maybe a little more. But most of the time we are just touring and enjoying the various parks and attractions. We would love to take a month and take the ocean side route from Vancouver to San Diego again. Maybe in a couple or three years.
250-300mile range in a very aerodynamically slippery small car vs a brick is going to cap the range at around 100miles or less.
Scale that up to a truck where it might have a 200kwh battery bank to get 100 mile range towing and it starts becoming a problem. With a small trailer on a 30amp site, you might have 1-2kw available for charging...that's 100-200hr to charge at the campground. Even if you talk your way into an 18ft trailer in a 50amp site and pull 9kw, it's still 22hr, so back to back driving days become problematic. You could go into a fast charge station but most aren't set up to accommodate trailers.
EV-RVs are still a long way off.
