my tow vehicle is electric also and yeah everything is expensive because we are in a recession and inflation is out of control. But since i don't have to buy gas of pay for electricity its one less thing to have to worry about buying.So the price of products you have to buy while traveling has not changed a bit? I know with our short daily commutes the increase we have had to pay for gas is minimal to everything we have to buy.
Absolutely true. But I have to eat anyway so I don’t count food costs etc. I think most on this thread are receding to fuel costs. We just did a 3 week 2212 kilometre trip thru BC, the island and the Sunshine Coast. We used 697 kwh for the trip. Our total cost was about 190 bucks.So the price of products you have to buy while traveling has not changed a bit?

don't worry to much, gas will start coming down dramatically soon.
Find the truthers on Rumble and stay away from the Media, it helpsNow that's funny. I wish I had your optimism.
Actually, here in my area gas prices have jumped 50 to 75 cents at most gas stationsin the last week or so. Which surprised me. Thought that wouldn't have happened until after the elections. Orange County CA by the way.Never gave any of those things a second thought. Gas prices are on the decline, Russia will not engage in nuclear war and North Korea will just continue to bluster. Nothing to see here. Covid is continuing to rear its ugly head. Friends of ours went on an Alaskan cruise and got Covid along with a bunch of other travelers. Luckily they were vaccinated so the symptoms did not require hospitalization. But they did have to quarantine for 10 days. Our son, also vaccinated got Covid. He felt really bad for a few days and had to quarantine for 5 days.
Wow, they must have only been paying them minimum wage.Interesting thing is that my RV repair facility has lost mechanics because they couldn't afford to buy gas to get to work. 40 miles away. Haven't seen that anywhere else tho.
70 KWH battery?We used 697 kwh for the trip.
Not bad. But it’s kind of skewed by campground charging as well as other free electrons at some of the tourist attractions.70 KWH battery?
Shows you needed to recharge ten times on that trip. A bit more as I doubt you recharged from empty to full each time.
Around $20.00 Canadian (~$15.00 US) per fast charge? Around 280 KM (175 miles) per charge when towing?
How far am I off on my guesses?

Yeah, I should have realized that.But it’s kind of skewed by campground charging as well as other free electrons at some of the tourist attractions.
Oh and as per max range I’m not sure but I would think 240 kilometre under the conditions we were driving on the island. Really it never came up as once we hit the island we were in tour mode.70 KWH battery?

No. I think In miles the EPA rating is around 335 miles. But speed limits in the BC mountains can be kinda slow depending on the route which can stretch that out a bit.Yeah, I should have realized that.
I didn't know that newer Teslas now have a 82 KWH battery. You must have near a 650 KM / 400 mile freeway range when not towing.

Perhaps you're using the max capacity of the battery, and I am using the nominal capacity.I think In miles the EPA rating is around 335 miles.
Yah. Could be. Really I’m not up on it.Perhaps you're using the max capacity of the battery, and I am using the nominal capacity.
I think my 2018 Tesla M3 has a 75 KWH (max) battery with 70 KWH nominal capacity (70 as useable KWH). 310-mile range, at 65 MPH (105 km per hour). 4.43 miles / 7.3 KM per useable KWH @ 65 MPH.

Yep, the best part of Regen, IMO. Even better on the Chevy Bolt as I can change the regen as I drive. I wish my Tesla could do that.I never had to touch the brake pedal once, even on the 13 percent grades. Gotta love regen.
How could I? Very few facts here! Even less respect…Dont confuse opinion with facts.
Seeing it’s almost impossible to name anything not affected by the price of oil, including the electricity to charge your $10,000 tow vehicle battery, there’s a huge affectNo affect. Our tow vehicle is electric.
