Brent Romans, a senior manager at Edmunds, said drivers choosing to tow with an electric vehicle, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T, should plan ahead by building extra travel time into the trip for charging stops.“Regardless of the type of vehicle, towing a trailer or boat causes a reduction in fuel efficiency — and therefore range — compared to normal operation,” Romans said.
