One of the first test I've seen with towing. Synopsis is mostly to stay in town if towing lol
Towing 8100lb from 5,000 ft to 11,000 ft elevation, at highway speeds, with temps in the 30's = 0.5 miles per kWh. I'm not sure what that tells me about realistic tow range but I guess we could use that as the absolute worst case scenario.

They say they are going to do another video with a more realistic tow with a more realistic payload vs a ICE truck.


I was most interested to see 55 kWh at the charger to add 45 kWh to the truck's battery. 18% loss when DC Fast charging - that is a lot of electricity being wasted as heat.

Also it out-accelerated a V8 Ram that was empty while towing 8100 lbs.
