Towing is a sore point for would-be EV adopters (as Ford belatedly realized, to its cost). The most elegant solution may not be to bulk up on batteries in the towing vehicle, but rather to electrify the tow itself. This approach holds great promise not only in trucking applications (see our recent feature article, Electrifying… Read more…
