This is the problem with a battery powered vehicle pulling a trailer up a hill:
Power needed to get over hills, power you lose with elevation - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums
Ignore the part about the thin air.
A truck pulling a trailer up a 5% grade could easily require 150 horse power just to maintain speed. Now an electric motor can easily produce that kind of power and likely be able to keep cool but the batteries putting out over .1 mega watts for an extended period of time and then going on to another hill or finishing the trip is where my doubts are.
