Maiden voyage towing the boat!
Love it
Man, that is a great looking little boat.
Probably cost more than the car, if I know anything about boats!!!
Nice setup! How does it tow compared to the Prius?

On the used market, prices would be similar for both.
New, the boat is about $40k.

It tows much easier than the Prius, though the Prius didn't struggle per se. The Bz4x is far more powerful so that's why it feels easier. The efficiency was about 90 MPG equivalent while towing in the BZ.
One of the things that was "alarming" is the BZ is so quiet, I can hear ALL the noises from the trailer quite clearly. Rattling, clanking, bumping around, etc So it initially sounds alarming because you don't hear any of that in a normal car.
My brother used to grease his trailer ball which I thought was a terrible idea, but I'm tempted to do the same with how loud it is compared to the vehicle lol. Maybe try graphite lubricant first so it's not as greasy?
What km/kWh or kWh/100km does that translate to for those of us imperically challenged? I guessed 23.6 kWh/100km based on 1L = 9 kWh but I could be wrong.
