I read this as EvoRacks, because that's what's prominent in the thumbnail.

10k weight, wow looks like the R1T is the only one that can tow. considering the weight, you will be recharging about every 100 miles or so.

Weight doesn't matter for range.

The PG5 has an onboard electric motor that provides active propulsion assist to significantly extend your range!

@srkz I watched that and he keeps saying weight does not matter. The numbers keep showing more KW usage when towing vs not towing. He did say if you have a big flat surface, like a RV trailer, surface area matters more than weight. I am not sure that is a valid test, because surface area always matters and is not related to weight.

Later on in the video he did tow the car with out the wind dam and it still used more eletrickery than not towing or towing less weight.

I watch videos on Long range trips (I have range anxiety), it is speed that will burn through the KWH. Weight does affect range. Wind and Speed are the two real killers. 'Out of Spec Motoring' has some good videos. They always show the charging and comment on the range or KWH used between charges. He really likes his own voice...He supplies the information I am interested in.

We have a XC90 Recharge and love driving in all electric mode.

Thanks @srkz for the link.

Do you even tow? I can get at least that range towing a loaded airstream.

Uh oh, someone doesn't understand the basic premise of the trailer or the fundamentals of towing!

The fundamentals are that you cannot depend on the trailer to assist the vehicle.
