Will Your Next Tow Vehicle be Electric?

Well, you won’t go 500 miles towing in any current electric vehicle, or least not in a comparable time to ice towing. But just doing a 500 mile day in an EV is easy, and in the same time as an ice vehicle. Our longest routine travel days right now are exactly 476 Km from home to hotel. But we have done the return trip in one long 12 hour day including 2 hours of business at the opposite end. So whatever 952 km
is in miles. I hate long days like this. Autopilot makes the drive easier though. I prefer no more than 9 hours at a time on the road, and some where in there a lunch break and a couple of coffee/pee/chihuahua breaks.

Wow, 600 miles in 12 hours is bookin' it. Or were you referring to taking 12 hours for the return trip of 295 miles alone? That's not so hot: 295 miles in 12 hours pretty much sucks. A person should be able to cover 500 miles in around 10 hours, give or take.

Just not sure if I'm confused here. :)

No. It’s about 5 hours each direction with stops. But we generally have about 1 to 2 hours of business at the other end so it can be a 12 hour day. Too long for me. Like I say. If we are doing a multi day trip we try to keep it to a 9 hour travel day which for us seems to be around 800 km or so depending on speed limits etc. I swear to god I had a bigger bladder when I was younger. :)
