Information from Mike Sokol about towing with the VW ID.4:

Towing with the ID.4: I just did a basic range experiment yesterday with my loaner VW ID.4 and a LittleGuy MyPod trailer. Even with this tiny 800 lb trailer that wasn’t any larger than the ID.4 envelope, I had the following mileage losses over the same 60 mile stretch of highway compared to driving without a trailer.
65 mph = 33% loss
60 mph = 28% loss
55 mph = 25% loss
