Have our trucks got too much power yet?
I've often thought about all the energy being wasted with braking applications and exhaust braking on down grades. It's only a matter of time before our rvs will have electric drive axles to help hold...

PHEV tow vehicles using energy recovery in place of an exhaust brake makes a lot of sense, so does using regen from trailer braking to charge the TV battery, or even an auxiliary battery on the trailer that could be accessed by the TV electric motor.
