Yea this was just silly. He put the biggest thing he could on the hitch and then acted shocked that range was poor. Between that and the comments, it seemed like yet another "i dont like ev's" channel/video

Though he had a fair point that charging stations today are poorly configured for trucks/suvs with trailers attached. Gas stations are somewhat better setup for this.

i think this will be the case/issue for stations until charging is as fast as filling up a gas tank.
they have to design the stations for ppl to stay for a while, and be out of the way...
whereas gas car with a hitch can block things up for 5 mins, and be gone

The hitch is intended for your bicycle carrier. Or something really small and light. And yes, Harry isn’t in favour of any EV so far, he needs to smell petrol of his Ferraris.

Right. He certainly doesn't have any EVs in his stable.

Yep, Harry hates EVs and he couldn’t resist plopping that ridiculous towing bit in the middle of the Macan EV review, which would have otherwise been positive. I used to love Harry, but he is increasingly coming across as a dinosaur.
