Electric cars and caravans are getting closer

Manufacturers of electric vehicles and caravans are adapting to each other. Modern EVs like the VW ID Polo (towing up to 1200 kg) and BMW iX (up to 2.5 t) come with tow bars. Caravans are becoming lighter and more aerodynamic: for example, the Knaus Yaseo (from 913 kg) or Adria Avia Lite (660 kg). However, towing reduces range by about half, and charging requires uncoupling the trailer at many stations.
