Standard Range SR Lightning towing road trip results

[Stlww18]

I had to pick up my church’s smoker from the dealer where it was being repaired, about a 2.25 hour drive. No issues on way down, plenty of range in my SR pro with one quick fast charge for good measure.

I couldn’t get smart hitch to give me a weight, but I think it’s about 2,500lbs. Averaged about 1.3mi/kw versus 2.3 unladen.

EV stalls are NOT made for trailers. But I made it work. Two charges to get me back to St. Louis safely, one was a free DCFC so I didn’t mind.

The navigator was pretty accurate on estimated range, but the routes were horribly inefficient and downright nonsensical. Plan your route with ABRP or PlugShare instead.

Glad it went well for you. The weight on the ball doesn't seem to be much. Truck still has rake.

Holy smokers -- haha nice name! I think that efficiency was pretty good! Glad to hear you found some good chargers along the way. I'm going to do a two-charger camping trip soon as well.

Great looking smoker. Curious about the twin axle. Really needed or just for looks?

probably more for stability when the cooker is unhooked from a vehicle...
