I've been going back through my archive,compiling trailer towing road tests from over the decades.I'm no sooner than a week away from sharing anything meaningful if I work full-time on it.
Shooting from the hip though,I wouldn't want to make a blanket statements about BEV towing capabilities.
I've seen an ICE Sedan-Airstream/ ICE Sedan-'Box' Trailer comparison,where the sedan got as little as 25% of it's solo mpg while towing.
I've identified over half a dozen criteria which would have to be quantified for any tow test to be meaningful.And typically,it's what's not mentioned,that's more important than what is.
