The 300 mile range is too optimistic and towing numbers are too optimistic.
I'm just waiting for someone to actually do it so I can laugh at their excuses when they are hitting chargers every 80 to 110 miles.
I hear lots of optimism and zero experience dealing with electric vehicles. Who's the authority on electric vehice towing around here? Unfortunately that's me and I say any one who buys those numbers is going to end up on the side of the road with a dead battery.
So how much electric towing has everyone done?
I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who has actually done it and agrees with those numbers.
