      I have said for ages that a company like U-Haul should rent tow-behind or even overhead gas or even biodiesel engines to power EVs for longer trips.

        Have you ever road tripped with an EV? It’s not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. Stopping once every couple hours for 15 minutes and charging while you pee, eat, etc isn’t bad at all. It’s not like a gas station where you’re supposed to stay at the pump. I can’t imagine towing a trailer just to get around that. Would you tow a trailer full of gasoline to extend the range of a car with a gas engine? Of course not.

          I’d say it depends on the EV. The Leaf S can only go 149 miles before needing to recharge. Giving it an engine to help it along is just turning it into a hybrid.

            Good point, I wouldn’t recommend road tripping in a Leaf. Still probably easier to just rent a car.
