As you know, l have been interested in the ev ute story for a long time .

Using the performance and data of a Rivian as a basis l have been overlaying that info as l use my diesel ute. lncluding towing etc.

So far l haven't found a situation where it wouldn't work. Nearly all the time it would be charged at home so for daily use that's no problem. With towing it's all about charging opportunities.

l recently did a Mel/Syd trip via Cann River . As an exercise l looked at the charging options along the way. l was amazed at how many chargers have popped up since l last checked about a year ago. There is plenty available and they are still building more.

The only issue l saw was that if you're towing you'd probably have to drop your trailer which would be annoying.

The charging times could easily be aligned with breaks. Unless you're in a hurry it's fine.

Even at Rivian towing range there was enough charging available. Fast charging is limited but more is being built.

My conclusion . lf a suitable ev ute was available today that had a 500km range l would buy it. Charging is already good enough and no doubt will be much better in a couple of years time.

So, despite the RWNJs that claim that they need to be able to tow their giant caravan across the Simpson twice a week, by the time ev 4wds hit the market here we'll be absolutely fine.

Yes alternatives live Rivan etc are resonable alternatives functionality wise if the charge lasts long enough for what you want/need to do. However the massive difference is the significant cost premium to buy it in the first place
