I would worry about the trailer exceeding the limit of the brakes more than
anything. If you are talking about a little 4x3 Harbor freight utility trailer
for flat ground around town use thats one thing but anything bigger might be
unsafe especially in less than optimal conditions

It's bad to tow with a vehicle that can't handle the weight. And because
of the battery weight, the car is already quite heavy.
In addition to excess wear on the tires, you may be depressing your shock
absorbers close to their limit, giving you a bumpy ride at best and busted
shocks at worst.
There's no issue with volts or amps; the primary thing that will happen as
far as electricity is concerned is that the car won't go as far on a full
charge.
