EV truck towing range calculator
Rated range assumes an empty truck on a mild day. Add your trailer, a Canadian winter and highway speed to see what you'll actually get, and how many fast-charge stops your trip needs.

Estimate only. Losses compound (each applies to what's left), so they don't add up to the total. Wind, hills, snow on the road and pull-through chargers matter too. Most fast chargers need you to unhitch, so plan stops with room for the trailer.
How the estimate works
- Trailer: about 25% loss for a light trailer, rising to about 55% at 4,500 kg (10,000 lb) and up. Low, flat trailers lose about a quarter less than tall, boxy ones. Based on independent towing tests that report 30 to 55% loss.
- Cold: no loss at 20 °C, about 10% at 0 °C, about 35% at -20 °C, and up to 45% in deep cold. Based on Geotab fleet data and CAA's Canadian winter test.
- Speed: extra loss above about 85 km/h, around 10% at 100 km/h.
- Each loss applies to the range left after the others, then legs are planned from 100% down to 10% for the first leg and 80% to 10% after that.
