No one actually recommends doing that. It's really just to make a point about the efficiency of the power units.

think Chevy Bolt best car in GM history for $/functionality. Sorry it triggers big Truck & SUV dudes. I don't have anything to tow & mostly drive in city. Have history of great CarS 88 Honda Prelude SI my 1st the, 2002 VW 1.8t Gulf that was great. The 2014 Ford Focus that sucked bad, Bolt has beats all the fun cars Prelude/Gulf without all the clunk of Focus.

An average EV will gain about 15-40 miles per hour of Level 2 charging.
You claim 10 miles (minutes) (1/6 of an hr) gives you 41 miles of range???
so regen charging is better than Level 2? really?

It's not a claim. This is coming straight out of IE reports from DNV and all my data is P90 or better.

It is and is closer to v1 supercharging than level 2 AC charging. There are several reasons for that, the biggest one being you eliminate the inversion losses.
But as a practical way to charge, it's not really something you would want to do because you're going to piss away a ton of fuel in the tow vehicle. It's only useful as a thought exercise to show the efficiency of the power units and to make YouTube videos for clicks.

We've been over this many times ITT. Unless you are parked right next to a working gas pump, you are almost certainly closer to a working power outlet than you are to a working gas pump. That's true at all times, with or without a storm.
Been through many myself. Never have I ever had difficulty finding gasoline after a hurricane.

I suspect as EVs become more commonplace and more users experience hurricane or similar weather events, sufficent experience and data will be gathered to help determine how EVs perform and are used in these circumstances.

Charging while standing in 2 feet of water will be fun.

Been through many myself. Never have I ever had difficulty finding gasoline after a hurricane.
Similarly never have I ever had difficulty finding someone running a generator when the power is out. Besides my own, there are several more within earshot when I step outside.

Love the outlandish scenarios you guys are concocting, keep it up.

Your original assertion is that one can simply tow it for 10 minutes and get 40-50 miles of charge when the truth is that it's not that simple at all and when considering the power requirements of the towing vehicle it's also not very efficient or practical. Also it can damage your vehicle and void the warranty.
You come off as angry in all your posts. Calm down guy it's just a message board

I would never sleep with a man who owns an EV.

Give me an EV, a solar array and/or natgas generator and starlink in a hurricane situation.
I'm powered, mobile and connected before, during and after the storm with minimal interruption or issue.
If the storm is bad enough to knock one of those systems down then I've got MUCH bigger problems.

void the warranty

This is entertainment, my man. I can't tell you how much I enjoy this shite. I mean look at loopback here in complete disbelief of an undeniable fact even after being provided the math, the data, and multiple examples of video evidence proving him wrong.

In the documentary Long Way Up. They drove electric Harley motorcycles and two pre production Rivian trucks from the tip of South America to LA Cali. They did have to pull a rivian with the other one to charge the batteries when no charger was available. How many miles they towed and how many miles they got after towing was not mentioned. It was pretty simple. Just hook up a tow strap and go.
The mileage they got on a charge on both the EV motorcycles and rivian trucks really sucked in south america when it was below freezing

Why do you dipshits act like gas cans are some superpower for gas vehicles when the pumps run out, and act like being able to charge an EV at literally any livable structure, whether it's powered from the grid or diesel or natgas generator or solar or whatever the frick, just isn't possible?
They are blindly following and spewing the same bullshite their beloved republican politicians do. Oh, and because they are painfully stupid and have no ability to be reasonably objective

Not to mention, charging your vehicle in your garage and binge watching something sounds way more fun than sitting in line at the gas station.

You can even just tow the damned thing for 10 miles then it can drive itself for another 40-50 miles from the regen braking charge.
I laughed out loud at this as I know he was serious when typing it.
