What if it wasn't homemade? There are already articulated buses in which the engine is in the aft section, that's a pusher trailer. I know we're all about the economizing here but now we're talking about a device to make electric vehicle ownership more palatable. Would a professionally engineered, mass-market system be more to your liking? Is it just the homebuilt nature of the solution that is tripping you up?
I've read at least one account of a homebrew pusher and that guy started with a pusher that used a manual transmission! The clutch was actuated by a homemade servo consisting of some all-thread and a cordless drill. Check it out:
