Meh, this whole only being able to tow 100 miles and then having to charge thing is bogus. That’s for a specific size, profile and weight of trailer. There are thousands of EV RVers on the Facebook towing groups who are getting double that towing smaller, low profile and lighter trailers. There are lots of different sized RV’s. If you have a bigger trailer with a larger profile then stick with gas or diesel. Nobody is making you choose otherwise. But for those towing smaller RV’s you simply have a third option. Towing with an EV is a very good experience. Torque, power, centre of gravity and braking are just a few of the advantages of towing with electric.
Personally I think the towing ranges will double in the next 5 years. Maybe sooner.
Thank you for putting things into perspective.
I think perspective needs to look at the RV market segments.
- While very small teardrop trailers are out there, they make up a very small percentage of the market.
- Also, from past posts Reisender covers relatively few miles per day and is on a fairly relaxed schedule.
If it meets his needs, that's great but this is very far from typical for RVs.
