Oh right, and I should add that to recover this charge on a 7.2 kW charger would take about 2 and a half hours.

Again - you really don't need a giant charger.

And towing. Towing things is not very effective for full electrics. But is theoretically a great place to use hybrids.

@tebrown @Ancients They *can* tow right now but range loss is severe. Like, depending on the trailer, it can exceed 60%. Aerodynamic affects are monstrous.

It's about the same as a liquid-fueled car, to be clear, but towing rigs have big gas tanks and can refuel quickly.

Add to that the fact there there's essentially no pull-through rapid charging infra and even I, a person who thinks EVs can work for just about anyone with a tiny bit of work, will admit they are shit for towing right now.

@tebrown @Ancients
Granted, that's caveated with *long-haul* towing.

If all you need to tow is a trailer to Home Depot and back, then by all means - you're not gonna care.

But if you want to tow a camper on a road trip?

That's a yikes, and is unlikely to change.
