This video misses the point of Morrisons comment, so this is more lies than his. This video shows people accelerating with a Tesla, no doubt it’s going to impress people, but what about real world experience actually towing a boat/caravan/work trailer long distances? An all electric policy won’t work for everyone. I’m seeing the F150 lightning reviews of charging every 300ks or so just with a normal caravan, that’s not going to work for 90% of people who live and travel the outback. Hybrids all the way.
After those comments from Morrison and Cash, we got a tow bar installed on our electric car and bought a camper trailer. We have 'ended' a few weekends now.
Cool, how many ks are you getting per charge with say a 2tonne load? Morrison is correct in saying an all electric policy won’t work, but would be fine for the city folk. But not for me..
@@reubs91 Don't know with 2T. It would be more about aerodynamics than weight. With our Jayco Flite camper, we get about 290km, about a third down from over 400km without the trailer. We recently did 600km in a day without any difficulty. We just had a short break at about 200km and 400km. On the right charger we are back to 80% in barely more than the time needed for a toilet break.
@@PeterEVcharade you will notice the weight over drag, then add in a headwind and you instantly lose 10% + efficiency. I have no doubt EV’e are awesome, they just don’t fit the bill for a lot of people, and it would be near fascism to dictate that all vehicles would be EV’s. This UA-cam channel, while good, I think is in its own bubble, away from reality of life - like most of the people interviewed on the channel also.
@@reubs91 While the weight is noticeable, it is mitigated to a considerable degree by regenerative braking. By holding speed constant on a downhill with regenerative braking whenever practical and safe, I avoid having the inertia-controlled electronic brakes operating, which means that much of the extra energy used to pull the trailer weight up the hill can be recovered on the downhill. I do get a noticeable difference between outward and return trips where there is an overall change of altitude.
"Save Their Utes" what insane nonsense. Meanwhile a 800hp 4x Electric Motors Rivian R1T can drag a Semi Truck out of ditch, side ways.
We still have to burn coal , to make the electrical power , for the electric car !
Yep but even here it's about Half of our grid mix. Unlike 100% Petrol while being slow and weak.

Just to name a few other Backflips!
