Unlikely. They are type approved in standard road trim and a trailer would not be taken into the equation unless it comes with one as standard.
Like spare wheels, add a spare wheel at production and it may be classed as higher emissions.
Add a towbar and it doesnt matter if you tow a camping trailer or caravan the emissions will be based on any negative impact of the towbar itself.
They don't score it worse emissions whether you drive it alone or pack 4 larger adults on every journey.
More likely a drivetrain issue, will the electric motor get too hot if your on a 1 in 10 hill towing a large caravan?
Think of the worse case a hot day and stop start traffic on that hill so your constantly creeping away, how hot will the motor and battery get and will it fail within the warranty?
Max tow is not all about the cars kerbweight, how strong is the drivetrain and will it do that enough times and not fail within the warranty?
