I like the idea as my wife has a Subaru... great car for the winter snow but I'd love her to get an EV ...we currently (!) have 20 solar panels that covers 100% of our electricity which also include 4 month of electric radiant floor heat in 3 rooms.
My Colorado mini diesel gets 21 mpg with the camper on. That was great for the last 5 years but with the insanely high diesel prices now (those pesky oil companies are making huge profits of late as well?) I think the interim solution is just what has been said... get an EV car and save $ for the camper truck.
I honestly think it is coming way faster than many think. Tech is exponential in its growth and batteries are the gold to be made. I'd love an EV truck, Great torque, towing, haul load weight... "Frunk" storage! I bet they will have a 500 mile capacity within 3 years. Solar is on nearly every home in the Nor'east. (I am very perplexed as to why "the Sunshine State" has hardly any).
I checked the cost at current cost of 13ยข/kw and a Tesla has 100 KW battery = $13 a charge .... I just paid $106 for diesel !
