I'm unsure how they'll do range wise, but I can assume if you cut it's supposed range in half to 200 miles of towing it's still not that bad. I'm not sure what the diesel or gas equivalents do while towing as all their ranges tend to just be with there largest gas tank configurations and not accounting for towing either.

200 miles of towing range is, literally, a joke. Even my 10mpg 496ci BBC isn't that bad on a tank. Also, a tank takes.. what, 10 minutes to fill? Vs 1hr plus?
Range and recharge times are the largest issues with electric vehicles just as it's been since the early 1900s.
