I would guess it's far lower than 1 out of every 30 for most people. The number of cars I see towing anything on the highway or in town is miniscule, and the share of all trips above 30 miles is just 5%.

I wish this data was segmented further, because 30 miles each way is no problem for an EV! But still, a longer trip doesn't mean you can't make the trip - especially with the number of fast chargers increasing, it just means you have to stop to charge a bit longer than if you'd stopped for gas.
(But as an aside, I really wish car share systems were more common in the US. It feels silly to have everyone driving around in oversized vehicles when they're only occasionally needed.)

It doesn't have to apply to most people, it just has to apply to many, and judging from the number of trailers that are sold, and aftermarket towbars that are installed, many people actually do intend to use their car for towing.
