Youtube video has guys driving a lightning with a bed camper. Got 80 miles before running out of juice. They were testing for distance.
When EV’s are mandatory there won’t be many campers anymore. That’ll put a huge dent in tourism, especially in the West where a lot of people rent them for vacation.
im guessing its not good
why not just widen the roads so they can really make competitive evs?
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.
Let’s see...I towed my 14000 lb fifth wheel 400 miles today and will tow it 350 tomorrow on my way home to Alabama. Don’t think any any of those could handle it.
100 miles won’t get most to the lake and back with a boat.
They’re an outstanding solution for towing a camper around the metro area!
Lose the house and live in the camper because you won’t be able to afford anything else.
Until an electric pickup can go 300+ miles loaded, it ain’t ready for consumers. I’ll stick to my 3/4 ton with diesel engine, thanks.
That's the idea...Create chaos in every direction, restrict travel by forcing people to buy electrical power sucking EV's to put additional load on an outdated power grid.
Gomer Pyle getting out of the Wally’s Garage tow truck:
“I got a gallon gas can but we don’t get many of these electric truck break downs. I can tow you back to Wally’s and you can stay at the hotel overnight until maybe tomorrow afternoon when your recharge is all done. We only got the slow charge kind in Mayberry. Behind Floyd’s Barber Shop. Sorta goes along with our slowed down easygoing life. We like it.”
Maybe they can pull a third trailer that is a battery.

But don’t worry everyone, someone that goes by TexasGator, will Don be on here to provide stats and specs that none cars about in an attempt to prove that EVs will save the world, cure cancer, House the homeless, seal the border and feed the hungry.
All while people recharge their toy cars with the solar panels on their roofs.
Have the investment portfolios of Al the government fills pushing this bs been looked shy lately?
Without a tremendous technological revolution, I can’t see EV’s being anywhere near practical without a universal power source being at-the-ready at power stations…quick change standardized batteries. Or a mini-reactor power source.
The cost of the tires are $250 a piece and with the battery weight you will be buying more tires. Since only rich people can buy electric boondoggle machines then the cost of new tires is nothing to them.
Sorry guys.
You’ll have to tow your camper or boat behind a municipal bus. Check the schedules far in advance.
The only EV I would buy is a Hyundai Kona. Some FReeper lay $35000 on me and I will buy one.
Very good Australian car man reviews the Kona EV>>>

EVs - government flips off the power switch and you go nowhere.
Gasoline - easy to acquire, store, and carry. You go anywhere you choose.
Choose wisely.
Electric trucks are like having phone sex with a blow up doll. Just ain’t like the real thing.
