Frequently asked questions

How much can an electric ute tow in Australia?

Electric ute towing capacity varies significantly by model. Most are rated at 2,500–3,500 kg braked towing capacity — comparable to petrol utes. However, towing at highway speeds reduces range by 40–55%, so a ute with 400 km WLTP range may only deliver 180–240 km while towing. This requires careful charging stop planning on towing trips.

What is V2L and why does it matter for ute buyers?

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) allows the ute's battery to power tools, equipment, and appliances through a built-in 240V outlet. Most electric utes provide 2.0–3.6 kW of export power, enough to run power tools, site lighting, battery chargers, and appliances at remote job sites — effectively replacing a portable generator.

Are electric utes suitable for tradies?

For tradies with a predictable daily route and home or depot charging, electric utes make strong economic sense: fuel and maintenance costs are dramatically lower than diesel equivalents. For tradies who regularly tow heavy loads or work in remote areas far from charging infrastructure, the range limitations require more careful planning.
