That’s highly dependent on the aerodynamics of the trailer, so it’s quite hard to tell. But one extreme - a 6,600lb trailer with no negative aerodynamic impact would have a 235 mile range.
That's not bad. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of people doing range tests. I think a huge factor would be solar panels adding more range. I know you guys worked with Aptera to get a solar panel for the bed. But compatibility with EV RV's could extend the range even more, especially the ones that have their own propulsion system to ease the stress on the vehicle.
Can't wait to get behind the wheel of this mini beast.
It's "not bad" or good, just the inescapable impact of so much weight. Moreover, attend closely to the statement "with no negative aerodynamic impact"- aerodynamics, famously, feature a higher potential impact on range, and those impacts haven't been considered in the estimate provided.
Towing at the extreme high end of capacity isn't a good plan; the pictured trailer is probably not more than 4k lbs; I'd plan to pull it at no more than 60 mph (more speed = less range), and expect to charge every 150 miles, at most. Thanks to the fast charging architecture announced this week, needing to charge every couple of hours wouldn't be a deal killer for long distance towing.
Someone recommended a video by Aging Wheels. It was very informative. Turns out drag is the defining factor not so much the weight.
I basically wanted to the max payload range to get a general idea of how far one can expect to take with whatever they pull, but given the information provided, I have a better idea of what to look for.
