I have finally been able to do a range test video with an EV towing something big ! I managed to get a BMW iX M60 with a tow hitch from BMW UK and the amazing guys at Chichester Caravans hooked me up with a top of the range 26 foot long twin axel Swift Challenger caravan. It's a simple format, a 100 mile journey in the iX without the caravan and then the same journey with the caravan. The big question is what will the difference in battery consumption and range be ? Oh an what about charging in public with a caravan attached ?
