VW EV Pusher trailers have a long history going back into the 1970’s
Pushers are a much better use case than running a portable genset to “charge”
My view has always been that anything that allows you to better use your car is good if that’s a pusher go for it.
A proper commercial “pusher” would allow owners to continue using old tired “leaves” that no longer have enough battery capacity for daily use.
The trouble I’ve seen is you have a lot of purists who have zero tolerance for fuel burners, especially those from Europe they have no comprehension, or views of fair play , sadly that mentality seems to be present amongst most everyone these days.
