    Supplementing electric vehicles ability to tow? (I don’t actually know this is just the only thing I could think of)

      Why would making a separate unit improve the situation though? Plenty of EVs have enough torque to tow, it’s the battery capacity that’s the problem. It would make far more sense to do a hybrid system in the tow vehicle than have an entire separate vehicle with its own drivetrain.

        I replied to the guy you replied to, what if the lead vehicle was a motorcycle? I lived for a decade with only a motorbike.

          Given the price of something like this though it feels like you’d just be buying a car that would then be able to physically tow the bike and hold whatever you were hauling to begin with lol.
