But of course uHaul can’t do this without the full cooperation of the electric vehicle manufacturers. As a first order approximation of course there is nothing tricky about suplementing the power of a running EV, but on a practical level I would expect the firmware to throw a hissy fit if it does not expects this.

Also, why a battery trailer? Why not a gas tank plus generator trailer?



Because electricity can be sourced renewable very easy and the gas for a generator cannot. It would defeat the primary reason why people buy EVs.

But I guess if you need it once every few years as opposed to daily, it's ok.
