How much can a nissan leaf tow? Feats of towing might!
Trailered 1 ton of hay home for the horses yesterday with our nissan leaf. Pulled it better than a toyota truck! Surprized at how little it dropped the range on the 30 mile haul! I was expecting more like a 50% drop, it was closer to 20....

Cool!
What are they rated to tow? Will the dealer care if they see a hitch on there?` Nice pizza pan wheel covers! :D EV's are ideally suited for towing: smoooooth torque, baby! I pulled all kinds of crap with my 48v ForkenSwift... http://forkenswift.com/album/21-fork...ed-trailer.jpg http://forkenswift.com/album/21-fs-pedal-boat.jpg http://forkenswift.com/album/21-fs-trailer3.jpg http://forkenswift.com/album/21-fs-trailer-brush.jpg http://forkenswift.com/album/21-hilu-forkenswift.jpg |
And you had the grill block in place for the tow?

Oh, I didn't even notice the grille block.
Do you have a thread documenting your Leaf mods? |

It was going into the headwinds that was the problem. Other drivers didn't appreciate the constant tacking from lane to lane. :D |

I've got a hitch mounted bike rack. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |
Like all modern cars it is rated to tow exactly
NOTHING But who cares, I have towed 1500lbs behind the insight (albeat very very slowly on flat ground) |
Aeromodded Nissan Leaf pulling a 3 point tractor scraper box on a utility trailer. Getting 3.6 mi/kwh 122 mpg @60 mph over a 100 mile average.
Leaf pulling a empty utility trailer. Getting 4.1 mi/kwh 138 mpge @60 mph over a 100 mile average. Aeromoded nissan leaf gets 162 mpg with improved aerodynamics increased range |
Hmmmm...... kinda messes up my bumpersticker on the E-ranger about towing /hauling stuff in your factory EV.
