Hi all. Woohoo. . An EV tow vehicle section. Not much to contribute today. But here’s our combo.

You are always welcome Vaughan. .Nice set up. Eventually we’ll be our your way and have a visit
We count on losing half our range when towing. Although it really is highly affected by the speed. We just came back from a trip up to one of the provincial parks in the area. It was 70 kilometres each way and we used about half our battery. But it’s all secondary highways with max speed limits of 80 kmh or less. Consumption is much lower at those speeds. But the safe thing to do is count on 50 percent loss. Great tow combo though. 447 horsepower and the hills are invisible. .So, how far can you go on a charge while towing the additional weight? Seems like it would really cut the distance down. Maybe not?
The torque for a model Y with the AB option like ours (acceleration boost option) is 505 lbs. The performance version has 450 hp and 639 pounds torque.Looks like a great place to camp!!
I was thinking an electric vehicle would lose about 50% of the distance available on a charge but it was just a guess on my part. Looks like I was close. One thing I didn't know was that you had 447 HP. Wow! Any idea how much torque you have? Torque is really what you need for towing. But HP is for maintaining your speed and it looks like once you are moving that shouldn't be a problem!!
