MAY 2023: Towing a caravan from Scotland to London with an EV - what is it like? How does it compare to last year? I tow my caravan from my home in North Uist in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, to Commons Wood Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, about 20 miles North of London.
We look at how long the journey takes, the charging stops, and how much extra time the journey takes in an EV compared with a petrol or diesel car.
In this video we focus purely on the facts and not the advantages or disadvantages of towing with an EV.
