- I drove the Kia EV9 with a 2000 kg caravan behind in winter conditions to test the consumption and to see how good of a car it was to tow with.

Very useful to see how much higher the consumption is when towing; well done!
Hola!
Thanks for the video, I had heard about you trying the EV9 with a trailer and I was surprised to see that gigantic caravan, impressive!
I have a Kia EV6 AWD with a caravan of about 1000 Kg, my average consumption is approximately 34kWh/100, in my case I consider that the consumption is high due to the frontal surface of the caravan, it measures 2.5m wide, 2.5m high and 6m long
Apart from the weight, you have to take into account the aerodynamics of the caravan, this makes it penalize the consumption a lot, since the resistance produced by the caravan is very high
Regarding the trailer mode, in my EV6 it deactivates rear sensors, activates all-wheel drive and the regeneration is manual from 0 to 3, the LKAS and other aids work, including the blind spot! When driving such a wide caravan, I am surprised that the blind spot works while driving. The HEAD UP Display shows me the lane occupied warnings, which I thought would cancel it.
The EV6's range with my caravan is 244 km at full charge, but my experience tells me that this is IMPOSSIBLE. In the best case scenario, it is around 200 km with a full charge. From 10 to 80%, 160 km is very optimistic. The advantage of the EGMP platform is that it charges very quickly, and from 10 to 90% it charges in 24 minutes on +250kW chargers.
Dream EV LDV will release an EV ite next year up to 2000kg towing and 400km range
Very nice its the most powerful EV fir towing all round perfect 2nd best from the Cyber Truck which tows 11000kg but orice is 109000k for the kia ev
What so you think would the EV9 need with a caravan 2000 kg - 1 axle - and in the summer?
What is the model unit of your rv/caravan? I hope to see the inside. We are planning to buy rv. We have kia ev9.
So 120 miles at best meaning you’ll be forced to stop every 2 hours to plug in .
Hopeless when a diesel Kia Sorento will easily manage 270 miles (430 km) before refuelling .
I expect to do 4.5 hours between driving breaks meaning a single break and refuel of 45 minutes followed by a further 4.5 hours driving
Try that in battery car and your day will a lot longer
