EVs Offer Torque for Towing But Face Charging Hurdles for Campers

Electric vehicles have advantages for towing camper trailers, like instant torque and no need to shift gears, but range is reduced almost by half when towing.

Aerodynamics is key - trailer manufacturers are focusing on smoother, more wind-resistant designs to maximize EV range.

Charging at campsites can be challenging as most sites aren't designed for EV charging; KOA aims to install chargers at 50% of sites in 5-10 years.

Rivian is building an EV charging network focused on places like national parks to serve adventure-focused customers.

EVs can power campsites via outlets and remove noise pollution from gas generators.
