As someone who has a number of friends with EV's. I can say from discussions with them, at this point EV's would not be a good option for pulling a trailer. If you are using Level 1 charging ( 120V), you are only adding 3 to 5 miles per hour of charging. Most charging stations at rest stops are level 3 fast charging (3 to 20 miles per min), systems. The cost is based on how sat you want to charge. If you use the faster charging level, the cost is not much different that gas.
The following is from a great article from Car & Driver.
"How much does it cost to charge on a Level 3 charger?
Level 3 chargers are operated by private charging networks, and the pricing varies greatly from network to network. Some bill the customer by how long the vehicle is connected to the charger, while others bill by how much energy was dispensed. Charging your EV on a level 3 charger will almost always cost much more than charging at home and can cost 2 to 3 times as much at some locations. At that point, the cost to drive on electricity is nearly the same as the cost to drive using gasoline although with lower total emissions."
