Somewhere I saw some article talking about designing EV's to charged from being towed. > For starters, it doesn’t make much sense for recovery vans to carry batteries for helping stranded EV drivers. If the tow truck is electric, then perhaps it could dump a couple of kwh's into the stranded car. Fast DC charging could add ten miles of range in a few minutes. I'm not feeling this article.
