Empty Tesla towed with the petrol engine: The battery is full again so quickly – news

by

What actually happens when a current is towed with an empty battery? The energy regained by recuperation is sufficient for the independent journey and if so, for how long? Can you actually just tow an electric vehicle? You can find the answers with us. In the video you can see a hardest test for the Tesla Model 3 Long Range.

A Youtuber named Cyber Hooligan has now investigated these questions with an attempt in practice. Specifically. However, simply towing an electric vehicle should not be so lightly, especially not if there is any damage and the electricity is therefore left behind. Tesla himself also warns of such actions.Nevertheless, the Model 3 from Cyber Hooloigan had to serve to try. However, this was only possible thanks to a certain remaining charge in the battery, so that the systems of the vehicle still work properly. This means that the towing campaign is equivalent to a long downhill run, in which the battery can regenerate through recuperation. In the video it worked astonishingly well. The Toyota has to struggle with the "Tesla Last", but the Tesla battery quickly gains energy again. The experiment begins with a remaining range of 3 miles (4.83 km), after half a mile it has already been dragged to 6.2 miles (approx. 10 kilometers) doubled, see video.

Demolation campaign brings electricity for around 60 kilometers

Overall, the Tesla was 6.2 miles (approx. 10 kilometers) towed and generated electricity for about 60 kilometers, which is a charging capacity of approx. 35 kilowatts corresponds. That should be enough in practice to get the next charging station independently. So that towing would be an option under these circumstances, at least for Model 3. However, the "tractor" should have an engine that is also up to this load. How much fuel was faded in the action does not show from the video.At the ADAC it is time to tow, that electric cars usually have to be loaded and cannot be towed safely. The reason is that when towing, i.e. when rolling the wheels, energy is still generated in the electric motor. If the energy flows in the electric motor without activated and functioning electronics, there may be high induction stresses that can permanently and severely damage the control electronics.

The best mid -range electric cars: Tesla Model 3 & Co in the test

For long electric cars were considered unaffordable luxury toys or unsuitable, tiny eco-danger. But at the latest since the success of Tesla’s mid-range electric car Model 3 it is clear: everyday electric cars with good long-distance range not have to be much more expensive than comparable mid-range burners like the 3 Series BMW. There are now a lot of competition in the electric middle class. Site tested and compared all relevant mid-range electric cars.

  2. Nice
    But with far less effort it works with a strong diesel unit. Is probably less environmentally harmful than the towing campaign. Therefore always have a full fuel in the trunk…
