With electric cars becoming an ever more common feature on our roads, it’s easy to see the appeal of using one to tow a caravan. Especially as electric cars don't have gears to worry about and offer seamless power at all speeds. The idea of gliding through the countryside in near silence with a caravan in tow sounds like the makings of a very relaxing holiday. However, there are only a handful of electric cars that are legally able to tow a caravan so far. There are a few reasons for this, but the main one is to do with ‘type approval’; when car manufacturers create a new model, it must be type approved before it can go on sale. During this process, car makers can decide if they want their new car to be approved for towing, but sometimes decide against it. Because electric cars are already very heavy, adding the weight of a caravan or trailer into the equation could put a car’s brakes under a strain they’re unable to cope with. Regenerative braking - the technology electric cars use to recycle energy otherwise lost when slowing down - is another factor, with systems usually only calibrated to account for the weight of the vehicle and not the extra weight of a caravan or tailer. Tesla’s biggest and most expensive electric car is capable of towing an impressive 2, 250kg making it a bit of a heavyweight champ compared to the Model 3, which is only rated to tow up to 1, 000kg. The American automaker has recently updated its Model X and Model S ranges. The slowest now manages 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds thanks to a pair of motors producing 671hp, and when you run out of juice you have Tesla’s expansive charging network to rely on.
