Thanks for sharing that towing with an EV is possible.


I don't think it will be adopted by the masses until inductive charging becomes a possibility or there are significant changes to battery chemistry allowing faster charging/longer range.

I know that Airstream has shared a concept camping trailer which would carry its own battery bank and could provide drive power assist to the tow vehicle, but that seems to be really a niche product not likely to materialize due to dependency upon direct communication to the TV power (and safety) systems. EV manufacturers would have to be on board for a standard for communications between the TV and the camper and there's just too much that could go wrong unless the tech piece is owned by one entity.
