    I think we will be ok with the towing range – most of the places we visit are within 120 miles (which should be achievable with 100% charge), and if we go up to 200 miles, it will entail one charge stop each way. We will almost certainly need to unhitch. Further, we only tow 4-5 times per year, for the vast majority of our driving we will receive all the benefits that EVs bring (including home charging). I feel that is worth the extra pain when towing. The only other consideration is the CX-60 – but that will be much more expensive to run, will require double the AP and has reports of a clunky, unsettled hybrid system. with regards to getting a deal – I now need to work up the courage to walk out of (potentially) multiple dealerships of they don’t offer an AP contribution 🙈 thanks all for your replies

    Hyundai Ionia 5 has a maximum towing range just over 100 miles in perfect conditions 80/90 miles is more realistic range in warm weather, with an 80% fast charger you are looking at less. A PHEV at the moment is the best option, we tow with a PHEV the only time we refill with petrol is when towing the caravan.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
