Why EV Towing Works so Well
Australians love electric vehicles, and it turns out they’re great for towing too! Here are some benefits they offer that make EV towing a great choice:
Instant Torque & Power – The electric motors running an EV are super smooth, providing powerful torque and speedy acceleration when you need it. This makes towing a breeze.
Lower Running Costs –EV owners don’t miss pulling into a fuel station every few days! Towing is more cost-effective because charging an EV is often cheaper than fuelling a traditional vehicle.
Eco-Friendly Driving – Who wouldn’t want to help preserve Australia? With EV towing, you reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying the convenience of towing when you need to.
Government Incentives – If you’re thinking of switching to an EV, check out the government incentives currently on offer. It could make it easier and cheaper than ever to go electric and get towing.
Understanding EV Towing Capacities
Not all EV’s are equal when it comes to towing – most Modern EV’s Have ADR approved towing capacities, but these capacities and vehicle range will vary depending on the make and model.
If you already own an electric vehicle, check out the owner’s manual for your vehicle’s towing capabilities. If you’re still in the research stage and EV towing is important to you, ask the manufacturer or salesperson for all the info related to capacity and range.
You can also get in touch with the Speedy Towbars team any time. We’re happy to answer all your questions about how we can turn your EV into a towing machine!
Towing and Your EV Performance
EV’s have incredibly powerful engines, but just like with traditional motors, towing does affect performance, particularly when it comes to battery efficiency. Here are some things to think about:
Range Reduction – Towing can reduce an EV’s range by 30-50%. It’s similar to how towing affects fuel consumption in ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles.
Charging Infrastructure – If you’re towing over a long distance, plan your trip around fast-charging stations. These are increasingly available along the major highways.
Regenerative Braking – Many EVs use regenerative braking to recover energy while slowing down. This helps improve efficiency by sending kinetic energy from the motor back to the battery. Something to think about when you’re choosing your EV!
At Speedy Towbars, we’ll help you select the perfect towbar for your electric vehicle. Warranty-backed for your peace of mind, our products and workmanship exceed the highest Australian standards.
