The North Light Photographic Workshops channel on YouTube recently shared a pretty cool story: a journey circling Lake Superior not only with an electric pickup truck, but pulling a small travel trailer along for the ride. Let’s first look at the video, and then I’ll summarize it for people who’d … [continued]

Many American couples seem to think that they need two cars and a big “honkin” full-sized pickup truck to address any situation that might come up! My wife and I get along with 95% of our situations with one car (a dual-motor Tesla Model 3 sedan), a big trailer, a … [continued]

Over the last couple of years, I’ve run several small fundraisers to build a better travel setup. The goal? To chase important clean technology stories, show people that affordable EVs can do the job (and are getting better), and to explore efficient trailer design. In this article, I’d like to … [continued]

In a previous article, I shared a video from TFL EV on YouTube where they interviewed a couple towing a small camper across the United States with a Volkswagen ID.4. Many people assume that you’d need an $80,000+ electric pickup truck if you want to tow with an EV, and … [continued]

Thinking of buying an EV to tow your really big boat? Check this out. Jon Day recently posted a video that demonstrates that an EV (a Volvo XC40 Recharge, to be exact) can tow a boat. However, it really reduces the range, from around 400 km to about 150 km. That led Jon to conclude […]

According to our illustrious former Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, electric vehicles can’t tow. “It won’t tow your boat. It won’t tow your trailer. EVs will ruin the Aussie weekend!” Like all FUD, there was some truth in it. Back in 2019, there weren’t many EVs around that could tow a caravan. Probably just the Tesla […]

In a previous article, I told the tale of a couple on YouTube who breaks all of the supposed rules for EV towing. Not only are Chevy Bolt EVs not supposed to be able to tow, but everyone thinks that they’ll instantly reduce themselves down to 50 miles of range the moment a trailer’s tongue […]

When I first saw photos of the IONIQ 5, and later saw one in person, it didn’t exactly scream “tow vehicle.” It’s bigger than a Model 3, but it’s not that much bigger. Most electric vehicles in this size range call themselves crossovers, but have either zero or very little manufacturer-rated towing capacity. But the […]
