Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries

As dawn breaks over the campgrounds, a familiar symphony of nature’s sounds plays out. Birdsong fills the air, owls hoot in the distance, and raccoons rustle through the underbrush. Yet, there’s a change afoot that’s altering this morning melody: the absence of car engines rumbling to life as campers pack up to leave.

The shift to electric is not without its challenges, particularly when it comes to towing. EVs, with their robust electric motors, excel at pulling trailers at any speed without the mechanical stress associated with traditional vehicles. Campers like Matt Linn, who regularly tows with his Ford F-150 Lightning in the Texas Hill Country, appreciate the ease and comfort of towing with an EV.

Aerodynamics play a crucial role in extending range while towing. Companies like Thor Industries and Bowlus are innovating with wind tunnel research and design tweaks to reduce drag. Some Bowlus trailers even come equipped with enough battery power to charge an EV in emergencies or drive themselves short distances.
