Proving the naysayers wrong: The McLennan's tow a caravan with an EV around Aus

Undeterred, Tim and Renee along with their children Ellie and Xavi set out to prove the naysayers wrong, heading off on a big lap, not just in an EV but with a campervan in tow as well. 

The McLennan’s completed the trip with a Kia EV9 Earth and a 2000kg New Age Way Finder camper. The Kia’s towing limit is 2500kg.

To help reduce drag and save charge, Tim modified the rear end of the camper to give it a more aerodynamic shape. 

In total, the McLennan’s covered more than 37,000km across 266 days propelled only by ‘electrons.’ 

For an in-depth look at how it went and what it cost in total to ‘fuel’ their trip, we spoke to Tim and Renee on the Horizons podcast.
