Caravan towing
Thinking of purchasing a small caravan, I have an XC40 twin electric and the charging point is on the left rear. Would I need to unhitch or can you purchase an extender cable for fast chargers? I want to go on long trips requiring multiple chargers in one day and the only way I can see to do this is to unhitch the van for every charge. Most charging points are not drive thru and require either front to kerb or reverse parking. Any brilliant ideas?

I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and tow a 2010 Jayco Flite camper trailer. The HI5 has its charge port on the right rear corner. On a recent trip using multiple DC fast chargers, I was able to avoid unhitching most of the time by approaching at odd angles, sometimes driving over tyre stops, to get the charge port close enough for the cable to reach. At one charger it was not possible to avoid unhitching but the carpark had enough unused parking spaces adjacent to each other to make unhitching fairly painless.

No way will you find an extension cable for a DC fast charger!
