Hacking modern EVs like the Volt, LEAF, i-MIEV, etc.. is a big challenge. The vehicle software is a big unknown, and physical modifications can lead to unforeseen consequences. (Even changing brake lights out to LED has caused trouble codes. That being said, battery boost packs have been added to a few cars using aftermarket chargers. Inputting amps to the battery while the car is in motion is indistinguishable from driving downhill. Same for using a mechanical pusher trailer- the car just sees reduced or load or regen, and doesn't complain.
