Our longest EV Towing Stretch || Towing with a Hummer EV

[@markwitkop7022]

It's nice that there are people that understand the beauty of slower speeds.

[@AllElectricFamily]

Technically the speed limit while towing is 55-65MPH in most states and there is a highway in Nebraska that it marked at 50MPH. I'm assuming most people that complain about the speed don't really tow that much. Thanks

So much fun to watch your family and the road trips. You guys just go with the flow. Whatever happens you make the best of it and keep smiling. Thanks for sharing.

[@AllElectricFamily]

You can either see the bad side of things, or make it an adventure. We choose to make it an adventure and enjoy the journey! We appreciate you watching!

[@murda2999]

And another video proving how much patience you two have. Thanks for taking us along.

[@AllElectricFamily]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching. It's all a part of the journey!

Love super cruise on my Bolt!

I love seeing the military vehicle that my family member who was in the military loved until they were in combat they had to add more water to them but as they added armor they lost the ability to move quickly and more specifically to IEDs. When he came home from the war he sold his Hummer because of how many team members he lost in the war because of the lack of ability they had outside of the base in combat he suffered combat fatigue syndrome I was my uncle's therapist before he passed away due to exposure to something in the war. Anyway, I love to have the humor when you want to let go of it although I would have to add a wheelchair lift in the back of it and have comfortable adaptive seating in the Driver-passenger seating to get in it, and I am SSI for income. Sincerely! R.S.V.

"so far so good!" 🙂

We'll keep on truckin'! Thanks for watching!

The 4ws backup at the end is a dream. If it's 100 degrees out for future tow and towing in mountains you most likely won't need battery pre-conditioning lol.

[@AllElectricFamily]

The 4WS is pretty slick...and Steve's backup skills are on point. Yeah, those 100 degree days are coming...so we will put it to the test again!

I generally like EVgo, but I’ve also had a similar issue with the session randomly dropping after a few minutes on the 350 kW units.

[@timoliver8940]

It would be great if you could do a side by side towing comparison between an equivalent sized gasoline/ diesel tow vehicle and one of your EV’s I think even at 1mile/kWh you are still getting better fuel economy over a petrol/ diesel powered truck.

[@AllElectricFamily]

So, way back in the day we did do this with the Model X and a Ford Explorer. Here is the link to that one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYDRdqyMn9RqqpY But, we may try to line up some trucks/SUVs to do it again!

[@randocrypto1678]

One mile per kilowatt hour is equivalent to 33 MPG, so that’s certainly still better than a gas or diesel truck towing a similar trailer.

[@alexlaguerre1814]

That FLO app looks user-friendly.

[@AllElectricFamily]

It is a very easy to use app!

[@Dakcole]

When you all tow on interstates are highways what speed do you drive at?

[@AllElectricFamily]

It depends on the distance between chargers, weather conditions, etc. But, typically we are between 55-65 mph.

[@Dakcole]

@@AllElectricFamily Awesome, thank you!

[@andrewglenn9314]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m looking forward to my Cybertuck (eventually??). Doesn’t that trailer exceed the towing capacity?

[@AllElectricFamily]

Thanks for watching! We took the trailer to the scale and it's right at it's towing capacity at 7,500lbs. So we are maxed out, but it does a great job handling it!

Your video has to be one of the best ads for not 21:28 buying anything but a Tesla

[@coldnnh6983]

You are trying hard to prove how bad electric trucks are towing, doing a bang up job. Try a 3000 mile trip and see how many days it adds to the trip and how miserable the kids get waiting on charging…. My last trip with my diesel required 4 stops filling 60 gallons each stop which took 15 minutes each towing 7k with the bed packed in truck. Go for pinks?

[@Canucker4Life]

Sadly, you are proving the nay sayers. I own a MYP, Rivian on order, and will never go back to ICE. Followed your channel since you got your R1T. Your videos don't show your patience with EV's in my opinion. They show, EV's aren't ready to tow. You were doing 55, then 54 to get your efficiency up, and also saying you were not holding up traffic, or being a safety problem. It's not just the cars whipping by you like you weren't moving, but semi after semi ripping by like you were standing still. What was the speed limit? In my area, if you are doing the speed limit, you ARE a safety hazard. If you are going below the speed limit, you are such a danger, you shouldn't be on the road. I love EV's, but maybe they aren't ready for your application. I get you are trying to prove they can, but are you? I think you are showing the EV haters exactly why not to buy an EV. EV's are amazing, but they have their limits.

[@skyemalcolm]

Covid lock downs and the resulting empty roads unleashed a small minority of anti-social/borderline sociopathic folks to drive whatever speed they felt like going. I’d suggest you educate yourself about NHTSA’s findings linking speeding to a dramatic rise in deaths on the road. Then maybe you’ll be able to rewatch this video from these awesome folks in a slightly more objective manner instead of normalizing road users behaving in anti-social, dangerous ways. And by the way, I’d lump some class 8 truck drivers into these anti-social behaviors because I see speeding, weaving and phone use by truckers more than ever on my recent road trips (been driving 30k miles per year since the 1980’s and the roads are easily the most dangerous right now over that whole time due to distracted and fast driving).

[@sprinteroptions9490]

yeah if semi's are whipping past you like that.. you're the problem
