Lowers it considerably, depending on the aerodynamics of the trailerOf course the first and only questions is,…… what does towing do to the range?
We need facts.Lowers it considerably, depending on the aerodynamics of the trailer
It is a fact that putting a tall box behind a vehicle and towing it at speed will reduce the range of that vehicle.We need facts.
Do you really? Will you trust it? Seems like people want information but then do not want to believe it. Here it is directly form the Rivian site, been in the FAQ for many months now....We need facts.
That’s great … coming from the manufacture.Do you really? Will you trust it? Seems like people want information but then do not want to believe it. Here it is directly form the Rivian site, been in the FAQ for many months now....
Guys, I KNOW you're fixated on the towing range. But look carefully at that screenshot I posted. Holy shit, the guy's phone battery level is like 6%!!!! Some people just don't have the same level of range anxiety like some of us.It is a fact that putting a tall box behind a vehicle and towing it at speed will reduce the range of that vehicle.
They don’t even have the percentage indicator on. So who even knows how much is really left?! how can anyone live like that?!Guys, I KNOW you're fixated on the towing range. But look carefully at that screenshot I posted. Holy shit, the guy's phone battery level is like 6%!!!! Some people just don't have the same level of range anxiety like some of us.
I think I’m sick to my stomach nowLiterally, heathens!!! I apologize now for not posting a warning prior to posting the photo.
Fact - Energy is Energy, towing resistance is towing resistance, whether it's an EV or an ICE tow vehicle. If towing trailer XYZ results in a 40% range reduction on an ICE, it will be, give or take, a 40% range reduction on an EV. Asking "What is the range reduction when towing?" is an ambiguous question.We need facts.

Yes, we're on the same side.No it’s not.
range is the absolute most important thing to a EV.
so when a simp,e thing like towing effects that range so dramatically it will be important to know that real world results of that range loss.
we’re on the same side. I juts want to know the facts ASAP.
