Towing a Boat with a 100 Percent Electric Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agreed, it’s not about a RIB this time. Still, I found this article published by the Belgian Pneumaticlub<\/a>. It is a very interesting real world test case to share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s about traveling by a 100 percent electric car trailering an average boat. The car is an Audi e-tron 55 capable of towing 1,800 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This highest weight can apply to many Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) being towed. A 100 Percent Electric Car impacts the way you to a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full article is published in the uploaded magazine<\/a> of the Belgian Pneumatic Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a very detailed well-written article describing distances, calculations and charging times. I was very curious about the outcome and it struck me to read the next conclusion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Au niveau du co\u00fbt et pour ce voyage aller-retour, rouler \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9lectrique est 40% plus cher par rapport au diesel.”
(Translation: In terms of cost and for this round trip, driving on electric is 40% more expensive compared to diesel.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I wrote an article last year<\/a> on the possible impact of towing our beloved RIB by electric cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And do check out my article on hydrogen versus electricity<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
