Politicians don’t say things that aren’t true do they? I wouldn’t like to guess what ScoMo does on his weekends that owning an EV would put an end to, but it’s not towing a boat or caravan because EVs like the Ford F150 Lightning prove that electric power doesn't mean weak towing capacity. This beast can tow up to four and a half tonnes, more than enough for a boat or a caravan, and with 200km range while it’s towing.
And it’s not just about towing power, they're evolving into mobile power stations with Vehicle-to-Load capabilities. Imagine turning your camping trip into a glamping experience! Plus, the F150 Lightning's operating costs are a quarter per km compared to its petrol counterpart, making those weekend adventures more wallet-friendly.
A downside for us Aussies: the F150 Lightning isn’t available here yet, partly due to previous political stances on EVs. However, the Australian market is catching up with over 70 electric models available now, and more coming in 2024, including capable and versatile options for weekend adventures.
