Any electric vehicles out there that can be
flat towed and charge themselves while being towed? If not there should be! It could be possible and what a convenience! I would buy one tomorrow, Bob

That would be cool, and very doable. Set up regeneration on a surge brake type setup so it's only activated when decelerating (like surge brakes). Win win.
Once the batteries are full, they stop regenerating. No harm done, it just freewheels. Like when I leave my house in the morning with a full charge and drive down the large hill we live on. Gotta use the brakes at the bottom when fully charged.
But alas, as of now no one is doing anything like this. At least not yet...
and fwiw there is no technical reason that EV's can't be towed four down. It's just an electric motor, it doesn't mind freewheeling at all.
