One of my nephews is an engineer with Corvus Energy and this past summer I told him that RVrs needed an electric tow car that could be towed 4 wheels down and if needed could be rigged to charge while doing so. :B We had a good chuckle and though he admitted it would be doable, the cost wouldn't make it viable. :E
Hi Arturo ( and I think Pianotuna is also interested) So, below is a screen shot of the EVSE software that controls the charge for an electric vehicle. As opposed to developing any kind of hardware that would charge an electric vehicle while underway, really, the simplest, safest and best for the battery is to simply let the cars built in charger do the charging while underway. Simply running a cord from a sine wave inverter in the motorhome to the EV's EVSE, and then telling the EVSE how much current you will let it have and then the car will be charged (or at least more charged) at the end of the trip. No extra infrastructure required...well other than the extension cord. For faster charging, run the cord directly from the motorhomes generator. Or simply charge when you get there or at a public DC fast charge station. {S. This is all done from a smart phone.
Hope this helps.
