Subject: [EVDL] Trailer type Range extenders
Trailer type range extenders, either battery or gasoline powered, always
seem to use standard type trailers, where the trailer hitch allows for
both
vertical and side-to-side motion, and where the hitch is almost as long as
the trailer itself. This considerably increases the total length of a
vehicle, and makes it very difficult to back up.
I wonder if a simpler design would work instead: a very short hitch which
allows some up-and-down flexibility, but no side-to-side motion, and where
the trailer itself rides on a single swivel wheel. This would
significantly
reduce the length of the trailer+hitch combination, and should eliminate
the
problem of backing up.
Also, I saw that the BMW i3 has an optional 700 cc gasoline generator to
extend the range of the vehicle. I have been unable to find the size and
weight of such as engine+generator combination, so let me know if you have
that information:.
Thanks in advance,
