Why would you need a gas powered vehicle to tow stuff? Electric vehicles have a much stronger motor, so they couold tow more and if the info is right on this new battery type, even the reduced range would probably not need a substantial time requirement.

The only vehicles that I could see that would need to stay internal combustion for the time being are semis and other shipping types of trucks.

 

I know electric motors more easily produces mass amount of torque needed for towing than comparable gasoline engines. But If you need to tow one of the things I gave as an example up to a cabin without electricity, you might not be able to make it back since towing will suck more juice. So in that rare circumstance, you can rent a truck to fit your needs.

True, however, any typical electric free vacation spot will have some electric having amenities within a reasonable distance. Plus, if you look up Tesla's plan they have a quick charge kit that you keep in your trunk for emergencies.

Basically, if planned correctly, all of these issues become moot.
