Hmmm I still think your way is a little backward metro. Around town is when you would have more difficulty parking and thus not want a trailer, compared to highway where a trailer is a relatively non issue. Also the majority of your driving would probably be in town so you carry the extra weight and rolling resistance for a greater proportion of your km.

It makes much more sense to have a light easy to park EV for the majority of your driving around town and to use the ICE pusher when you occasionally need to go highway. What is the advantage of the reverse?
