In before the EVnistas claiming you’ll love playing frisbee and walking your dog for the 8 hours it takes to charge your EV truck.

I really have no problem with someone who wants an EV, and there’s a case to be made for, say, a Tesla as a daily commuter.

But none of these options are anywhere close to being viable towing options. They wouldn’t even handle a dinky little airstream that a gas engine easily manages. We were considering a larger trailer and rig a while ago, and the obvious upgrade is to a larger Ram 2500 or 3500 class truck. You can still get those new, but there are jurisdictions that are trying to ban the sale of diesel fuel.

I hear the sound of an axe being sharpened with all of these regulations and pressure to move electric.

Yup. And I’ve said it the past 10 years and counting: anything you plug into an electrical outlet is an appliance.

I have sparred here with those EVangelists, but I have never seen them claim that. They downplay the wait time, emphasizing how most people drive their vehicles most of the time. Most of them live different kinds of lives, and charging in the garage works for them.

EV owner here.

Towing a camper should never be done with an EV. Wrong tool for the job. Like using a screwdriver as a hammer.

Worse, actually.
