> Can an EV tow 10,100 pounds? A maxed-out F150 Lightning can, in theory.
The R1T can, the upcoming Silverado will be about 100 lbs short.
Note that these are still first generation products, there’s every reason to believe that subsequent generations will see significant gains over this.
> It also takes 1.5 hours to charge at 440V
It is well understood that charging at high voltages is a variable curve. So, if you are looking to maximize speeds you aren’t going to charge to 100%. More realistically you’d drive for and hour and charge for 30 mins.
I’m not going to pretend that is acceptable, mind you, but again, there is a lot of room for improvement in charging speeds. There are already vehicles on the market that charge significantly faster than that.
