For those of you that want to pull a trailer with your EV, Some trailer maker will outfit a toyhauler type trailer with a generator for when you are camping, that will also have an umbilical to charge the truck while going down the road, And those small engines, and industrial units don't have to meet all the enviro-whacko rules that auto's and light trucks do, so you will likely see the pollution actually get worse in some cases, although they will be a small percentage of the total number of vehicles out there, and you can still pat yourself on the back for saving the world.
Although an intriguing idea, all EV’s are designed to not function when plugged in. That prevents people from driving away while hooked up to a charging station. It would also have to be a substantial generator.
EV’s have gauges indicating charge state. They won’t need to be charged while driving anymore than an ICE needs a connection to a tanker while going down the road.
