minus-squareIlovethebomblinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoYeah, EVs that have decent enough range for a road trip, and good luck catching a bus to a remote campsite with all your gear. You can easily cut the range of an EV in half by towing etc, a vehicle like this will still have decent range even when towing.
