Electric cars – what does this mean for caravans and motorhomes?

In the week the government announces the ban on the sale of all petrol and diesel only cars by 2040 what does this mean for caravans and motorhomes? We are looking to find someone who has tried towing a caravan with an electric car, if you have or if you an electric car that you like to try towing a caravan with please get in touch with us at editor@caravantimes.co.uk.

In the current crazy political climate this 2040 ban on diesel and petrol cars seems have steered mentioning anything about the leisure industry.. as do the manufactures with electric cars struggle to break the 150 mile journey limit what impact will hitching up caravan have on how far can you go? Does the industry expect an electric car to be able to tow a caravan any further than next nearest filling station? We emailed a number of electric and hybrid car manufacturers and have not any response so it feels like its time to put it to the test ourselves.

Once again if you do have an electric car and want to try towing please contact editor@caravantimes.co.uk. Likewise anyone out there has seen any information we have missed please also contact on the same email.
