So far they haven't produced a van capable of towing a 2 Tonne digger further than the end of the road or a car capable of towing a 15 cwt caravan from London to Cornwall without multiple recharge stops.
An acquaintance briefly owned a plug-in hybrid that was touted as Ideal for short trips on battery power only. He tried it on a 25 km run to a town in the mountains not far from here. The road has multiple hairpin bends and the town is at an altitude of 700 metres higher than the starting point. The car could not make it on battery power. His conclusion was that it would be difficult for the car to do the round trip, on battery power only, to the nearest major town (10km away - 20-25km for the round trip) on a hot day with the aircon going.
He was also not all that happy with the performance.
After a few months he swapped the car for an ICE vehicle.
