The Caravan and Motorhome clubs Tow Car of the Year awards are announced and for tow weights below 1,150Kg the winner is a Jaguar I Pace Electriche. costing an eye watering £76,530. More than twice the price of the other contenders in its class and can only tow 750Kg max. Now the reason for this post. They reckon (No test figures) that it can tow a 750kg caravan a staggering 115 miles before needing a recharge. For me a trip from Leicester to Glasgow at 336 miles would take 6-7 hours with breaks. Using the I-Pace it would have to be recharged 3 times at least so we are looking at a journey time measured in days.
The fact the C & M Club gave it first place means they consider this as acceptable. To me it is absolutely farcical.
This is the first time I have seen any mileage towing figures and when I do its estimated. Were they scared it would not even reach 115 miles.
I went to the C & CC NFOL last weekend (Which by the way was 168 miles) and there was a diesel camper van costing over £100,000. Why are they still selling diesel camper vans which are a long term investment when there will be more ULEZ,s than you can shake a stick at in 5-10 years time
So why isnt the industry talking about this? Are they just burying their heads in the sand hoping it all goes away?
