Discovery D4-2 caravan is a relatively light 884kg There are now many electric cars with which you can tow a caravan, but is it a good idea? We found out Until quite recently, you would have struggled to buy an electric car that could tow a caravan, so rare were they.

What effect does towing have on range, and when you run out of power, how do you recharge it with a large caravan attached? To find out, I borrowed a Skoda Enyaq iV 80 and a Bailey Discovery D4-2
