The first EV I might buy.

Composite panels so won't rust and in the winter. I seldom drive over 50 miles round trip in the winter anyway.

I hope it can tow my 1800 pound snowmobile trailer and snowmobile 20 to 100 miles round trip.

That will save my Excursion and Jeep with less rust to drive in the non salt months.

I already don't drive my Unimogs in the salt.

Good luck with that. The panels might not rust, but the steel frame, battery box, and other stuff will. You will have to drive without the heater on in order to get any kind of range in the winter, and pulling a trailer is a no-no for range, especially when the trailer weighs nearly as much as the vehicle.
