Can EVs tow or carry heavy loads?

Yes, many EVs are capable of towing and hauling heavy loads, but it depends on the model. Larger electric SUVs and trucks often have towing capacities similar to their gasoline counterparts (some rated more than 7,500 pounds). Keep in mind: towing a trailer or carrying extra weight will reduce driving range more quickly, just as it does with gasoline vehicles. Checking the manufacturer’s towing rating is the best way to know what your EV can safely handle.
