I could set up some sort of towing setup, but I really don't see the need. I do have AAA that will tow me up to 50 miles free. I haven't found the need to push the EV yet for range. I don't want to abuse the MAXX29's so I am charging when ever possible.
It's actually quite amazing what you can do with proper planning. I can do all my around town errands, and even take the EV to visit relatives, charge it up and go home on a full charge. I just need to get a plug at school since it's 17 miles away! I am going to pursue that more this week since I can't have my Dad keep on driving it after spending nearly two years from concept to road legal!
For every hour of charging I get 2 miles of range, which after inefficiencies, equals 250 watt hours per mile for my Civic EV. Not bad for an automatic and all these brutal hills!
