Whale, he's not wrong. I've been saying the same thing.
1. Electric vehicles are fantastic for low consumption uses.
ie: intown towing, commuting, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, a 2nd vehicle, etc...
2. Electric vehicles are bad for high consumption uses with long duration.
ie: boats, airplanes, going over battery capacity range where charging is required.
The big issue is the average speed of the vehicle. Averaging the speed limit at 65-70 mph, then having to charge 1/3 of the time, your effective average speed gets to be around 45 mph.
For most people who can afford to tow with an electric vehicle, I'm betting they would tow long range once then never do it again after enduring the painfully long trip time. (ie: towing a race car from my town to the race track. 6 hours @ 70. 9 hours with charging?)
