One of my big career goals as an EV writer is to get into more adventure content. This hasn’t always been easy, as a sick pet has led to being basically grounded for the last 6 months or so. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not trying to be like … [continued]

If you’ve followed me much on here, you’ll notice that I like to cover the challenges of EV towing and electric RVs. Electric vehicles (EVs) are a great option for towing due to their instant torque and smooth acceleration. However, they do have some limitations when it comes to towing. One of the main reasons […]

In Part 1, I discussed how teardrop shapes tend to make for the best aerodynamic efficiency, why that is, and then how things go wrong with many bogus almost-a-teardrop designs. In this article, I’m going to discuss one more aspect of aerodynamic design, how to actually optimize a larger trailer for aerodynamic efficiency, and discuss […]

There’s no denying that “glamping” in an RV is a lot of fun. While camping in a tent can be a lot of fun, too, the temperature swings, the lack of a bathroom, and not having a mattress like you have at home can all make the experience a lot less exciting for many people. […]

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 […]

In a recent article, I lamented the competing pressures of efficiency and luxury in campers. I wanted something small, light, and efficient that my Bolt EUV could tow, because nothing spoils a fun trip like going into debt (both financial and to my kids for ruining the planet) to cover the fuel bill.
