Another long tow with an EV

Glad it’s working out well for you CT👍 At some point or other, most folks will be going electric.

Have to be honest and say that EVs seem to have a awfully long way to go (excuse the pun) until they become viable towbars for owners of heavier vans. Until I can find one that’ll tow our 1800kg loaded Adria Adora for a good 200 miles we’ll be sticking with our trusty Toaureg diesel. One day they might work well enough, but not yet; might compromise with a Hybrid, and use the electric side for local trips without the van.

Additionally, I’m still not convinced about the charging infrastructure in the more remote highlands of Scotland.

The main worry I would have is finding the space to accommodate the caravan whilst charging.

Out of interest where are the nearest rapid chargers around Derwentwater, I presume you are coughing up for a slow £9 charge on site? 

From a cost point of view, fuel cost for my 3500Kg A Class motorhome would work out at about £70, which bearing in mind that Choccy presumably charged up before leaving home means the cost to travel is not dissimilar. He will, of course, be quids in on small local journeys.

Keswick has 4 Instavolt in Booths, and a Geniepoint rapid and 2 7kW chargers in the main carpark. Not had to pay form the club site charge yet.

We will probably use the club facility on our last night to be sure if 100% before leaving.

Thanks  we were in Keswick earlier this year with the M/H it's good to think we could return with the EV. 

Yes that's right but if you're not towing it would be considerably cheaper. If we took our EV it would be a big saving.

Definitely. Motorhomes, even large class A are at least as efficient as towing a caravan, if not more so. Pottering solo, not so much 😁. But that’s what bicycles and e-bikes are for, right?

what is your cruising speed ???
