I was really please to see the number of EVs in the awards this year, with my own (Polestar 2) taking the spot for the EV Towcar category. Whilst they are still expensive, in the class 5 (1500kg - 1700kg) category (won by the XC40 EV) there were two Hyundais, The Santa Fe and Ioniq5, at almost the same price - the EV being slightly cheaper, and only a smidge more than the Skoda Superb.
There is a great article on Caravan Times, here, by one of the judges from the competition which makes for interesting reading.
As summarised by Andrew Ditton in his latest video, if you can live with the drawbacks around towing while charging, and range on a single charge, they really do work.
The UK charging infrastructure still has a way to go, but is improving daily, and as time passes we are going to see more in the used market - and I think the understanding of battery life will grow to the point of trust for their lifetime.
I think the future for caravaning after 2030 is looking bright.
