You don't even need an actual trailer, just something like a hitch mounted cargo platform. https://www.google.com/search?q=trailer+hitch+platform&client=firefo

  Most cars do not have the suspension system to handle that. The average family is often already putting their car at the max load before adding suitcases. (for ride quality reasons engineers design them that way) A trailer putting most of the mass on a different axle is much better answer.

    We're talking about an alternative to a car that is already designed to carry an extra motor around all the time on the existing axles.

      You cannot just take the engine out of a car and replace it with batteries. The weight balance changes so you need to reconsider the whole suspension system. (yes people do this all the time, it works okay but even a small increase in warranty claims is enough to make a manufacturer unwilling to do that.
