[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3875616, member: 35036"] I saw a guy the other day on Facebook trying to “dispel the myth that EVs are bad for towing”. He managed to tow his 1200lb aluminum framed teardrop trailer with his Tesla Model X and 3 people in the car a whopping 83 miles across Wisconsin before discharging 53% of his battery. Roughly. Honestly, pretty sad. Electric vehicles are pretty neat, and have their uses, but are likely decades from widespread takeover, that’s for sure. Due to the fact that I spend a lot of my time wandering around rural areas and camping in remote spots, I can’t see the logic behind getting and electric vehicle. If I had the money for a 2nd or 3rd vehicle that I exclusively used for a grocery getter/commuter, I would likely get one. Except I don’t have faith in our infrastructure, and I can make less of a “carbon footprint”, save money, and have a longer lasting vehicle just going with a small gas or diesel powered car. [/QUOTE]
