People who knew their arse from their elbow would do it. You need a battery to deal with the load and mileage you want it for. The Ford EV pickups are 100kWh, which is double a standard car. Another possibility is to fit more batteries in the caravan. LiPo are coming down in price fast and safe as well. The problem with the proles is they are as thick as pigshit when it comes to basic science. If you knew your arse from your elbow you would already know the problems that Ford EV's have with towing. How about recharging every hour!..  146 miles with 77KWh and at 70mph.

Well that rules you out then BVL...And the rest of your post is total bollocks. I do not need to be tutored by the MSM blondes. What a pity you learnt fuck all on the subject then BVL. |

I've got about 50 years of experience in electrics. I do not need to be tutored by the MSM blondes. What a pity you learnt fuck all on the subject then BVL. Ah the Dunning–Kruger effect.
Anyway, I've shown what you can expect. Your example lacked data. We were not told what size battery he was using and the thing it was driving was very poor aerodynamics. He did not mention the speed either. My vid was far more scientific, testing a real caravan. Sure the range is reduced, but the caravan is bigger than a car itself so you would expect at least a factor of two. The best way is to come up with a design that is overall aerodynamic, as per car + caravan. I admit the pickup truck is non-ideal but it does have a large battery. It was just an example of the battery size you can get. It's too box-shaped on the front.

States someone who thinks you can have a thermal runawy whilst the battery is in nrmal use.....Yes we all know about your lack of electrical knowlegde BVL. |

Yep. I towed a big caravan for years, it halved the MPG of my range rover (which was already pretty poor) So, no different to an EV. |

So every 100 miles you have to stop - uncouple the caravan - drive round to the charge point - recharge for an hour or so - drive round to the caravan - recouple - and then get on your way... Yep - EV's are perfectly suitable for towing... |

Yep - EV's are perfectly suitable for towing... 200 miles is pretty much every caravan journey you'll ever do. You arrive on your site in the Derbyshire dales having stopped to charge up once while you have lunch. Unhitch the caravan and set it up. |

Your experience of towing is not the reality for the rest of the world.. I have done over 500 miles in a day, which I couldn't have done in an EV. |

Massively different to an EV - range of 250 miles - 5 minutes to refuel - drive in, drive out of the gas station... But in reality stopping for 40 minutes for a bit of lunch is just fine when you're on holiday. And towing a caravan requires concentration so a break is welcome. |

Oh yes another one towing his caravan for 13 hours without a break. Was this your holiday in John O Groats or Budapest. Sigh. |
