With the continued proliferation of electric cars, I wonder if RV manufacturers are working toward a way my RV can charge a Tesla, or other electric vehicle, while plugged into shore power, or on the ...

My personal driving experience with motorhomes is I seldom brake. Unlike driving a car, my motorhome is driven almost exclusively on trips. I go several hours at a time without even tapping the brake. I would think the average motorhome trip would provide very little in regenerative charging to the towed.
I wasn't going to create energy out of thin air. I could be wrong but I thought that regenerative braking uses the motors as generators thereby causing drag which slows the vehicle. I wasn't suggesting engaging traditional brakes (I assume EVs have those in addition to regenerative brakes).
