They can be quite weighty, so stability is never an issue. They have tonnes of torque, so pulling a load is never a struggle.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s one issue, range. Attaching a trailer that\u2019s heavy and ruins the car\u2019s aerodynamics can have a dramatic impact on how far you can actually drive. But how much impact?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the folks over at Camp365 \u2014 a company that makes folding caravan type things \u2014 gave one of their trailers to a couple of Tesla enthusiasts to see how much towing affects an EVs range.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video above to find out how they got on. But if you can\u2019t stand that voiceover, here\u2019s the TL;DR.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two Tesla enthusiasts took their Tesla Model Y on a road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>, with a Camp365 trailer.<\/li>\n<li>The Model Y usually gets around 326 miles (525 km) on a charge.<\/li>\n<li>The Camp365 weighs about 900 kgs, is sleek, and quite aero for a trailer.<\/li>\n<li>Driving at 55 mph (88 kph) the Model Y reported an estimated range of 218 miles.<\/li>\n<li>That\u2019s about 67% efficiency compared to the regular car,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Driver Brian said, \u201cIt tows like no ones business, it has great visibility, and its low weight and drag, make it a joy to tow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Brian, the car was using about 380 watt hours per mile, which is the equivalent to 24 kWh per 100 km. A regular EV without towing at 55 mph (88 kph) would get around 15-19 kWh per 100 km, so that\u2019s pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>As Brian says, his Model Y used 270 watt hours of power per mile unloaded, that\u2019s 17 kWh per 100 km.<\/p>\n<p>So all things considered, towing a lightweight, sleek, and aerodynamic trailer will cut an EV\u2019s range around 25 to 30%.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, towing an actual caravan, not one that folds into a compact package, will drop an EV\u2019s range by closer to 50%.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><i><span>Do EVs excite your electrons?
