4 gallons of gas equals the energy of the entire battery pack of the electric F-150 which if towing a camper will have it’s range reduced to 83 miles!

Yes -but can you recover the entire energy in a gallon of gas - me thinks not - more like 50%. As for the towing capacity of ANY EV - they are HORRIBLE at it. That is a simple truth that I can’t argue against. All of the towing attempts I’ve seen on Youtube regardless of towing vehicle reduces the capacity to about 30% of the charge. That is remarkably consistent with Model X, Rivian, and F-150 examples I’ve seen. The most recent example was “Hoovie’s Garage” just last week with an F150 Lightning.
