Are there any EVs that are suitable for towing a small trailer?
I'm looking for an electric car that can tow a small trailer for gardening. I have a diesel for distance and can use that for towing but would like to try and reduce the families CO2.

The latest premium electric SUVs (Tesla Model X, Jaguar I-Pace, Audi E-Tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC) can all tow, but they're expensive. A plug-in hybrid might be a more affordable option. Consider a Hyundai Ioniq or Mitsubishi Outlander.
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.
