Can I tow a caravan with an electric car?
Are any electric cars able to tow caravans?

Yes - the likes of the Audi E-Tron and Tesla Model X are capable of towing most caravans but they're expensive. You might find a plug-in hybrid like a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV a good compromise.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Are there any electric vehicles which can safely tow a caravan of 1500kg? I currently have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 diesel which is a superb tow car - can anything electric replace it at a similar cost?
I have a small caravan, 1200kg max. I’m looking at changing my Nissan X-Trail to an all-electric. Would you advise I hang on for a bit or what EV would you recommend for towing it?

Cheap to run if you can charge at home and don’t do many miles. Masses of space. Significantly improved for 2019.
Exceptionally strong performance, can seat up to seven people, Falcon Wing doors have real wow-factor.

Wonderfully classy inside, roomier than most (not all) rivals, very civilised on the road with an 248 mile range.
