Electric motors can deliver a lot more torque than ICEs, which makes them very much suitable for towing in terms of power, they just need to deliver larger battery packs to compensate for the weight of the towed vehicles, otherwise the range will be limited.

That they can. 100% torque at 0 rpm. The issue is reliable distance capabilities in remote areas. Currently, they just can't do it.
