I love what EVWest is doing. They ran what was essentially a privateer entry at Pikes Peak using all off the shelf parts (Warp motors, CALB batteries) and kicked some ass!. Pushing the envelope for sure.
For RV use, I envision a 2" receiver mounted drag wheel that mounts to the rear of the EV (which is being towed behind the motorhome) that is connected to a generator head via a belt drive. This would provide power to charge the EV batteries while in transit behind the RV. It could be activated by the brake lights to only energize the generator while braking, thus adding regenerative braking to the whole RV! A win win, less braking losses for the RV, and free charging for the toad EV. :B
