    Yeah so do people with EVs. And people without cars in places sane enough to have public transit.

      Yeah, EVs that have decent enough range for a road trip, and good luck catching a bus to a remote campsite with all your gear.

      You can easily cut the range of an EV in half by towing etc, a vehicle like this will still have decent range even when towing.

          A few trips a year, typically. This can be a few hundred KM one way though.

          And if I’m buying a brand new vehicle, I’d expect it to be able to do something my existing vehicle does.
