Getting twice the range on an electric car is good, but using none of it for a little bit of diesel is even better.
When you physically connect the vehicles they legally become one vehicle that exceeds legal length limits.

Given the fact that trying to get the NHTSA to update headlight and mirror requirements has been a decades of banging one’s head against a brick wall I’m not hopeful for a change to length limits.
