EV Pusher Trailer, or ICE-pushing EV Trailer?
This old thread popped to the top of my feed for some reason, and I realized that besides having a confusing title, it doesn't include the articles about my pusher trailer. I used an aircooled VW drivetrain to push an EV down the highway, meaning that all in-town driving was 100% electric, while the engine enabled long range highway travel with 200% of original passing power!

MPG was a fail, stuck in the low 20's while pushing, but like a Volt, there were about 45 miles of infinite MPG to start off or finish each journey...
