If you drive an electric car in the US, it is most likely powered by coal. The same coal that has been outlawed. Very little of the country is capable of relying on wind or solar power.
The thing I want is a an electric towed that is linked to the coach driving controls and will go into regenerative braking anytime the driver indicates that retarding velocity is desired. This could actually cause a driver to take a long route so that the towed will be charged at arrival.
Is this possible?? The trains in the Netherlands are now all powered by wind energy.

Actually in the US only 33 percent of power is produced by coal and this number continues to drop. Some states have very little power produced by coal. Idaho uses the least, Montana the most. A lot depends on local resources. Coal powered electricity on a world wide level continues to decline.
