"It's funny how people here are predicting an EV car's range will be decimated towing a caravan.

I don't know if it will, the point is neither do they…."

Is what you said. Do you still think people don't know whether towing a caravan will impact an EVs range? Or is that not what you were implying? Are you suggesting it is still up for debate?

I'm sure the range is affected.

That's not up for debate.

The key word is "DECIMATED"

Do you have any proof of range being decimated?

I did read a review of a Polestar driver towing and the comfortable range between charges was about 100 miles. About 30% of none towing range.

I've really little interest in playing semantics, but, are you referring to decimated in its original sense (ie. 1 in 10) or in the vernacular (drastically impacted)?

You said

"It's funny how people here are predicting an EV car's range will be decimated towing a caravan.

I don't know if it will, the point is neither do they…."

therefore implying the range would not be decimated. I provided independent evidence that towing a caravan does indeed severely impact range.

So I'm now completely confused now regarding what point you think you're trying to make by repeating that you used the word decimated.

Unless you are now saying you were suggesting people think range will be reduced by exactly 10% (no more, no less) and they have no proof of that, then I concede that point, and applaud you on being even more pedantic than I can be.
