My son who works for JLR, on the Electric vechile development sidehas stated just, that for about the last 4 years. Brushless motors of course will help reduce particals.
Short answer - yes,in Scotland club sites are too few and quite a distance from where we stay,unless battery technology vastly improves,you've got to take temperature into account as well which is another chunk off car range when towing.
I find towing 100 to 120 miles perfectly viable in one go. Last trip was 258 miles one way with 2 charging stops. There are EVs available with better towing credentials than mine, bigger battery, faster recharging times and better tow capacity. And things are always improving.
Prof - I did exactly the same - look up the author. I confess I find some of his ideas valuable. For example the targeting of grants at expensive EV buyers which assists those who can already afford to help. But of course the (UK) government has already stopped that practice focusing grants at cheaper EVs only, and moving grants for chargers from home owners to landlords and local authorities.Sadly I think the DM has just published another very poorly researched or reported article.
Most of the points have been answered by others.
Just out of interest I looked up the author bjorn-lomborg, and found this
"Lomborg is best known as the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist and Cool It, two books that downplay the risks of global warming. Lomborg does not have a background in climate science and has published no peer-reviewed articles in journals devoted to climate change research. He has, however, authored policy studies arguing against climate change prevention measures. He wrote a similar article in the peer-reviewed journal Technological Forecasting and Social Change where he claimed, “Climate policies also have costs that often vastly outweigh their climate benefits.”"Bjørn Lomborg

It’s pretty funny - I saw it on an EV group a couple of weeks back🤣.
Fantastic, I think my reactions are way to slow to drive, fast nowadays, my Honda 500 , Is good enough for me.
bZ = Below Zero? Yes, not exactly inspiring. When in a pub probably forget which way around the letters go.
Also Bravo Zulu, or “well done”bZ = Below Zero? Yes, not exactly inspiring. When in a pub probably forget which way around the letters go.
But if most makers are going down the electric line as they are politicians will not have much influence now on what will be offered. The train has left the station.
Don’t forget we have the infamous U Turn😜😜I think you meant to say "politicians" instead of people?
