Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Aero is very much fixable on these things. Sure you are not going to get zero losses but you can 100% get better than the 2 to 1 loss I get when I tow my caravan with my EV currently.
I don't lose regen on mine when towing, where you getting that from? I cant use one pedal, but that uses the brakes so I don't use that mode very often.
The good old airstream caravans despite being massively fat for their size actually get better miles per kwh and they aren't even modelled to modern aero standards.
The other problem are caravans, particularly American caravans, are massively fat. A lot of US caravans aren't actually towable within recommended limits by European cars.
