Electric cars are great, but what if you need a little more muscle from your vehicle? Unfortunately, electric trucks aren't quite ready yet.
Electric cars are getting pretty cool. While Tesla popularized the concept of a “fun” electric car, these days there are quite a few options out there, like the Kia EV6, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and even some luxury options from Mercedes and BMW. These cars offer awesome performance and often a sweet design, making them excellent choices for first-time EV buyers.
Towing is tough The Achilles’ heel of every electric truck comes down to hauling: Adding a ton of weight to the load seriously impacts range — and not in a trivial way. Add a camper or even a lightweight trailer, and you might find that you’re getting half of the expected range out of a charge. That means that you’ll have to charge up more than every 150 miles, and if you’re towing a camper, it’s very likely that you’re driving further than that.
Added space and a sweet ride Now, that’s not to say that you should completely discount electric trucks. For one, they’re going to get a whole lot better within a few years. Soon, they’ll have a much longer range, and charging will be much easier.
