In Brief

Skoda increased the maximum trailer weight for Elroq (to 1800 kg) and Enyaq (to 2200 kg). Meanwhile, an ACSI study shows the number of EVs capable of towing a caravan grew from 3 in 2020 to over 100, but only 1.8% of caravan owners use an EV due to range loss.

Skoda improves towing performance

Skoda has increased the permissible trailer weight for its electric models Elroq and Enyaq. For versions with the largest battery, the maximum braked caravan weight has risen: for Elroq from 1000 to 1800 kg, for Enyaq from 1200 to 2200 kg. Exceptions are the Elroq 60 and Enyaq 60 with smaller batteries, which retain the previous figures (1000 and 1200 kg respectively). The changes apply only to new vehicles.

EV tow-car market expands

According to an ACSI study, the number of electric vehicles capable of towing a caravan has grown from 3 models in 2020 to over 100 this year. The most affordable model on the Dutch market is the Jaecoo 5 EV with a maximum towing weight of 1250 kg and a price starting from €30,890. The full list of models will be published on April 15 on the ACSI website.

Range anxiety remains a barrier

Despite the growing choice, only 1.8% of caravan owners use an electric vehicle as a tow car. The main reason is a reduction in range of 50% or more when towing.
