What are the best petrol/electric tow cars?

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Toyota RAV4 hybrid 4x4 don't have very high towing limits, of 1500kg and 1650kg respectively. The Lexus RX450h can pull 2000kg.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
