Reply to comment by BuckRogers87 in China’s Electric Trucks May Well Pull Forward Peak Oil Demand by PeteWenzel

Towing is not "inefficient" it just takes more energy. While that's exactly the same for a gas powered car, you probably notice it more in an electric car because your range was more limited to start with.

My 28 year old truck gets 10 mpg empty. Seven mpg towing. My range is significantly reduced. I’d expect the same with EV.
