pusher trailer
Just don't let your insurance company know what you are doing. ANd don't get stopped by a curious highway safety officer. You need to have a double-redundancy emergency shut-down mechanism to make sure you can kill the engine IMMEDIATELY if anything goes wrong, and if the throttle opens up (intentionally or not) in a turn the handling can get REAL SCARY in short order.
How do you anticipate handling the throttle and transmission? What about the brakes on the pusher? How do you GUARANTEE the trailer will not continue to push when you have the brakes on - particularly in a turn????
Ever seen a "pit maneuver"? That's what happens if a pusher gets away on you in a turn.
If you want to only own one car, and it is an electric, plan on renting a vehicle for longer trips.
IF you decide to build a "pusher" make sure it is very close coupled and has a very stiff connection to the rear of the car. A one wheel pusher with a 2 point hitch MIGHT make sense for highway use - - - but something like a Chevy Volt would likely be a better idea -- -
