EVs and towing: what you should know

How towing affects range, and which EVs are best suited for a trailer or caravan.

Range drops significantly with a trailer

Towing a trailer or caravan can cut range by 30–50%, depending on weight, speed, and aerodynamics. Plan charging stops more often than you would without a trailer.

Look for approved towing capacity and steady charging power

Not all EVs are approved for towing. Check the manufacturer's max towing weight, and consider a model with a strong winter score and fast charging if you're towing a caravan on long trips.
