Ironically, towing capacity is something that EVs have the potential to be better than ICE. They have the torque, and you don't need a complicated transmission in the drive train being a limiting factor.
You can also put extra battery in whatever you're towing. It's extra weight, but if we're talking highway travel, the weight doesn't matter much. Air resistance matters more, but you've already paid that price by having a trailer at all. High power connection does need to be worked out, though.
