We chat about our actual experience at campgrounds while towing our camper with an EV. We ease the fear of having your vehicle damaged and discuss that EVs have built in chargers that monitor power and protect the vehicle from damage. Plugging your EV into “bad” power doesn't have the same implications as plugging an RV in to “bad” power. Campgrounds may experience damage from an EV if they don't have the appropriate (and required) breakers, etc. A change in camping fees is likely to occur due to increased power usage by bigger and more technologically advanced campers as well as electric vehicles. We consider how camping may look different with an EV and talk about destinations and remote locations. Boondocking is possible with an EV and in the future may be even more convenient than boondocking with a gas vehicle.We also discuss how camping with EVs can provide their own set of benefits such as reduced noise and back up power.

If you're looking for inspiration to get your EV into nature, Samuel's adventurous spirit will have you ready to take the path less traveled.

His 2017 Jeep Rubicon is less Jeep and more rock crawler these days. He loves getting away from crowds and out into nature. After enjoying driving his Audi E-Tron he decided to take a chance on the Rivian R1T.

On this episode of All Electric Conversations, Steve and I sit down to chat about the progression of electric vehicle charging, how owning a Tesla vehicle differs from owning a CCS car, and what risks you might be taking when you choose to road trip in an EV in today's current state. Public fast charging is a disaster. Do we think it's gotten better since we started driving EVs in 2017? Is Tesla really that far ahead? We share our take on the current climate of charging and how we think things have progressed. Through stories of our trips and EVs we explore the difference between driving an Tesla vs. any other brand of electric vehicle. We discuss what we think needs to change to make charging better and the risk you take any time you hit the road in for an EV road trip. We also discuss our feelings on the cost of fast charging and if a higher price for charging is the answer to the charging problem. How do you feel about the current state of fast charging and the risks you take when you take a road trip in an EV?
Can you tow a 27' Airstream with a Tesla Model S? If you ask Andy Thomson, he will tell you yes you can. Andy joined us from London, Ontario to talk about hitch modifications, what makes a good tow vehicle, and his travels with his Model S and Airstream. Andy has been modifying hitches and selling Airstreams for decades at CanAm RV. He has a unique knack for understanding tow vehicles and hitches, especially which ones are best for towing even though they might not be what you think of when you think of a tow vehicle. Aside from selling RVs and modifying hitches, Andy also takes his Airstream towed by his Tesla Model S from Canada to Florida every year. Would you tow with a non-traditional tow vehicle? Tune In To Learn: Why Teslas make great tow vehicles, how hitch modifications can make a big difference in towing, factors that make a vehicle good for towing, and how Andy's Tesla Model S did towing a 27' Airstream up the Ike Gauntlet.
