Tesla Model 3 Averages 255 Wh/Mile Towing Camper At 55 MPH

Polydrops, a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of camper trailers, has publicized the results of a February 1 test consisting of a 55-mile (88-kilometer) roundtrip from Glendale to Santa Clarita, California.

Using a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Single Motor to tow the EV-optimized Polydrops P17A1 trailer (not yet launched on the market), the test ended with an average energy consumption of 255 Wh/mile or 3.9 miles/kWh at an average speed of 55 mph (88 km/h).

To put things into perspective, that's the same consumption recorded by the 2020 Hyundai Kona EV in InsideEVs’ 70-mph rear-world highway test—without a trailer, obviously.
