Don't EVs get some charge when they are rolling? I've heard that when you "coast" with an EV it charges the battery, a little bit at least?
If you tow an EV, can it charge itself and/or at least keep itself charged, like a maintenance charging?
Yes and yes. Regeneration can be as high as 100kw,...and that is not a typo. So imagine 10 of your 7500 watt Onan generators running all at the same time.
And yes tow charging works. The catch is that it voids the warranty of most EV’s. Rivian is the only manufacturer that allows four wheels down towing. (Or at least according to their publicity)
Of course this would work if you are pulling an EV as a toad. But if your tow vehicle is your EV then that won’t work.
