Hhmm what about their navaras, patrols, etc? Electric can't tow caravans, trailers, etc around the Australian outback yet. Is this just UK?
The very first sentence of the article:
Aye! Nice one
UK is not Europe. I wonder if they're exempt? 🤔
There's still an entire article with more information. I just grabbed the first sentence to help you out.
True that. I was incredibly lazy. Thank you though
Electric motors can deliver a lot more torque than ICEs, which makes them very much suitable for towing in terms of power, they just need to deliver larger battery packs to compensate for the weight of the towed vehicles, otherwise the range will be limited.
That they can. 100% torque at 0 rpm. The issue is reliable distance capabilities in remote areas. Currently, they just can't do it.
