There are a few ongoing projects -- please go to my wiki page which is hosted at the PESWIKI project -- link at HYBRID ADAPTER

These HYBRAD efforts are all still on the ground floor as far as I'm concerned -- it is a good time to get in and produce some solid results -- modifying your ICE car and making it a hybrid is not rocket science -- but you have to put some effort into it. I'm building my "fifth wheel" out of a Ninja 250. This other guy built a "pusher trailer" -- see the wiki page.

I'm looking forward to working with you all and really glad I found this place.
Welcome to EM! Sounds like you're working on a ground-up Electric version of these "EV Extender's" :

Mike Chancey's Civic Pusher Trailer


EV Pusher Trailer


Idea: The shape of the trailer could accommodate a tear-drop "boat tail" shape to "complete" the aerodynamics of a car.
