    It’s towing that is the achilles heel of electric vehicles, you can cut your range to less than half with a combination of a trailer and stuff on the roof.

      Very few people actually ever tow anything (and I say that as someone who regularly does tow things). But even then, I can keep our ice pickup and replace our car that we drive every day with an ev.

      We won’t, though, because the current situation in the US means us taking on new debt would be dumb.

        I’m not owning two vehicles just so I can have an EV.
