Inevitably the conversation drifts to it won't tow my multiple thousand pound trailer hundreds of miles without extensive recharging. Ever stop to think this may not be targeted at you?
People pay extra to buy towing packages so they can tow. The only limit they have is weight. You purchase a vehicle for towing, that has the capability to tow the weight you need. Or slightly more.
As far as you need it towed.
There is no distance limit. Anyone who buys a vehicle for towing, is not going to prefer to have a distance limit placed on it by battery size and output, (EV), over one without. (ICE). There is no upside.
No matter how many times this boomerang gets thrown, it continues to return right back at the same place.
The fact of the matter is EV's have distance limits that ICE vehicles do not.
Recharging takes a lot of time, and has limited places where it can take place. A towing package on a EV simply exacerbates the distance limits that handicap all of them in the first place. Again, gas stations are everywhere, and the largest tanks can be filled in just minutes, and you are on your way....
Now comes the part where the EV people say, "These issues will be resolved". And they very well may be...
YEARS, or even decades down the road. That doesn't help anyone who buys one of these things today.
Technology has to chart its own course over time, based on cost, demand, and infrastructure requirements. It can't be mandated, legislated, or rushed simply because people want it now. And
most people are not going to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a vehicle with severe distance limits, when they can purchase one for the same money or less, that doesn't have them.
