    I have an EV myself but towing with electric vehicles has its disadvantages.

    Tounge weight and towing capacity is usually lowere by the exact difference in weight of the lithium ion batteries you are already hauling. usually 1 ton difference to its ICE counterpart.

        Nope. He’s saying that the weight of the battery pack eats up 2000lbs of towing capacity. Plus the shit frames they are built on to cut weight to help due to the battery packs.

          Ill be honest; i mostly know about trains which are just better than cars

          But i know electric motors are much torqier than combustion.

          And i don’t suuuuper care about the particulars, because we shouldn’t have cars and cannot keep burning fossil fuels.
