Yes, within each model's rated limit. 25 models are rated to tow 2,000 kg or more. Check the caravan's loaded weight against the braked towing figure, and the car's tow bar rating.
Towing reduces range, often by a lot, because of extra weight and air resistance. We don't publish a standard figure, so plan extra charging stops and check the manufacturer's guidance.
