Sorry 'bout all that... I'm finally getting on Daylight Savings Time here...

I edited my last post. I do think that would be kind of the ultimate fuel-mileage boost to help your in-town driving by hybridizing with an electric system!!!

Personally I like the idea of having an all electric car and then using the trailer as a serial hybrid setup for longer trips. The trailer could even be used to expand the cargo capacity of the vehicle for traveling longer distances. The trailer setup could be standardized so that it could be used with different vehicles that were capable of using the setup. It could also be marketed as a backup generator for a home as well.
