This is a real life scenario though, albeit personally I’d take a break when towing. However …….. I’ve not seen any places where you can stop of with your caravan and charge your car without parking up the caravan some where else . You may not understand the issue with this but it’s a problem that’s needs solved. We are miles away from adopting EVs as main mode, you can provide all the tax incentives you like to buy one but there is a lack of available and plentiful charging points!
I've taken a part-time job 25 miles away. Travelling 2-3 days a week. My parents are 18 miles away in the opposite direction. I cycle to their house occasionally, but also drive regularly as I take them out for lunch / coffee. They have both given up driving. The nearest Lidl is 20 miles away and we go there maybe twice a month for shopping. Around our small town we walk / cycle.
In contrast my caravan has been out 5 times this year. Most recent trip was 50 miles away for 5 nights. Furthest away was 140 miles.
Caravan club has begun making towcar awards to EVs. It is almost at the point where my caravanning would be possible with an EV. It would if I did my journey in shorter stages - an interim site 70 or 80 miles away. As I'm semi-retired there is no reason why I wouldn't. Caravanning is popular and the new changes in towing rules will increase that, but it is still very much a minority pursuit.
Renault are making electric vans with a hydrogen fuel cell to add extra range. While I still feel I need my van and the EV, by the time my 3 year lease is up it is quite possible one hydrogen / electric van will do it all. Especially as by then I may well have given up my part-time work and will only need one vehicle.
This is only going one way. Electric vehicles were available until the recent fuel crisis when uptake took off. An equivalent lease to mine is now about £40 a month more, in little more than a month.
