Interesting video on YT Petrol Ped where he tested the effect on EV range of towing a caravan. Using a top of the range BMW iX (my god they are hideous!) and towing a large wide heavy twin axle caravan the effect was to halve the range to about 150 miles - which is not much really if you’re travelling say in Europe. But almost more important was the fact that to recharge on the road almost all chargers would require you to unhook the caravan and temporarily park it somewhere in order to get access to charge the car without blocking the area around the charger. Great!
