In this video I am doing a range test with my Polestar 2 whilst towing. Looking to answer the question of what is it like towing with an electric vehicle. What is the impact on the range when towing with an electric car? I am considering a teardrop camper, so this 900kg horse box is an almost perfect box to tow, and the fact its not to aerodynamic will also mean its a somewhat worse case test. My towing vehicle is the Polestar 2 78 kWh Battery model with the Performance Pack.
