The Nissan Leaf has a 0 tow rating as well.
With the new SAE J2807 protocols I don't see to many eco boxes getting a rating. Any vehicle raited over 1500 must be equipped with a brake controller. The new rating system the vehicle must proform under real world conditions and be leagal. One specification is the ability to stop and start in both directions at max rated multiple times.

The standard outlines dynamic and performance criteria as it relates to a given vehicle (it applies to passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and light-duty trucks up to 19,400 lb GCWR [Class 5]). Examples within it include various tests conducted while towing and mandates certain temperatures, speed, and accessories operating, including climbing the infamous Davis Dam Grade on the Arizona-Nevada border while maintaining 40 mph (64 km/h) for single-rear-wheel trucks and 35 mph (56 km/h) for those with dual rear wheels. Also included are a constant-radius understeer test while increasing speed and a sway maneuver using aggressive steering input.
