Gotcha - that’s a bit tough because the battery doesn’t precondition on L1 charging (though the cabin will). Otherwise, you’d be recharging the 17kwh per night or 70kmh on standard outlet.

Northern BC defs does not have enough charger coverage for towing.

Cost to run wise, math depends on how you use it. Math for us was the Lightning is a free truck compared to our gas usage.

I get 17-23/100km in a 8ft bed, max payload 5.0. $34/100km or $50/100km towing
That’s like 8-900 a month we’re saving.

Compared to Americans the fast charging in PNW and Vancouver is incredibly cheap.
10-25c/kwh instead of like 64.

Better ride quality, keepimg the truck warm/cool during errands off battery & running a cooler for fresh towels and drinks/food at job site was just icing on the cake.
