If you going to use a pusher trailer with auto transmission enough to justify its efficiency over the gen trailer then you might as well just keep the liquid fuel powered car.

Sure why not?
The 10kw coming off the trailer could supply say 80% or 90% of the power to drive the vehicle.
Or god forbid, slow down to 55mph.
