I dont think Ill be towing my skidsteer with an EV. It takes my 6.5 turbo diesel to tow it. Some days I have to tow it to three or four different job sites and over 100 miles. Where would I charge it at a new construction site? There is rarely power on site to run lights in the basement or plug your Dewalt batteries in to recharge them. I carry a generator everywhere I go.

Even if I could recharge it, what if Im there for only an hour? How long would it take to recharge to go another 50 or 60 miles towing a 16k lbs machine plus a 16 foot long trailer?

I doubt an EV would tow my boat or snowmobiles up north either. I need my F250 gas motor to make it up the hills. And EV tech would pretty much demolish the RV business. Even towing a fifth wheel would be nearly impossible.

EVs are completely impractical for anything more than a 25 mile commute and back or a soccer moms trips to the grocery store and shuttling the kids. And even there a hybrid is a better choice.

EV tech is one more front in the war against tyranny.
