Finding the Perfect Electric Vehicle for Winter Camping

Her dream is to go winter yurt camping in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. I’m interested in buying a Toyota Prius Prime for our next new car. But she worries the Prius won’t have enough cargo space for camping or cottage trips. So I suggest we borrow a press vehicle to find out.electric vehicle

that checks our boxes. Enter the reformed Prius with its deft handling , solid acceleration , hatchback versatility and up to 72 kilometres of electric range before the gas engine kicks in. Our Prius loaner was the top trim XSE Premium, but if we buy a Prime, I want the base SE. The pricier trims’ bigger tires and added weight suck energy. While the SE claims 72 kilometres of electric range, and gas-only fuel consumption of 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres, the other trims rate 64 kilometres and 4.9 litres, respectively.

Camping with a PHEV is potentially a two-way street. The Prime has a 1,500-watt, 120-volt outlet that can power devices or camping equipment when off-grid, assuming you ensure the battery has enough charge . We, however, had an electrified site, so my goal was to recharge overnight for maximum electrified driving when driving to trailheads in Algonquin’s pristine wilderness.

That night, I opted not to charge at the “borrowed” site. There was 15 centimetres of snow in the forecast, and the power pedestal’s weatherproofing looked iffy. Hence the next day’s 80-kilometre drive was hybrid all the way to our friends’ place near Maynooth, just outside the park. When we plugged in there, cumulative gas consumption had edged up to 4.1 litres per 100 kilometres.
