If you own an electric vehicle that is not rated to tow* a trailer (see list below), but want to bring some extra stuff on a trip, what can you do? You can add a roof rack and cargo box, but it is a bit more complicated that just sticking it on the roof. There are important things that you should know before you buy, and this video gives you the basic information needed. I hope you like the video and please let me know if you have any questions.

**** IMPORTANT NOTE: It seems that I was mixed up in my conversions, at the 2:07 mark the video shows 225 cm = 67 inches when in fact it is 170 cm. Sorry for the mistake and thanks to viewer U H for catching that.****

---- PLEASE SEE NOTES BELOW LIST ----
A list of some EVs that are not rated to tow in Canada.

- Mustang Mach-E

The link to the manufacturer is below, and here is the list of parts that I have for my Kia Niro EV (same for all Niro versions):
- Thule WingBar Evo 118 - 711200
- Thule Rapid Podium Foot Pack - 460R (locks are extra)
- Niro Thule Fitkit - No. 184076
- Thule Pulse M Cargo Box

*** 2021-08-20 UPDATE: It would seem that the 460R foot pack is discontinued and replaced by the Flush Rail Evo foot pack (Thule part #710601). This means that the fit kit included in the new foot pack is a different one from the 184076; the new fit kit is included with the new foot pack.
