Charge From a Battery in a Towed Trailer

Description

Charge or power the car, while driving, from a power source in a towed trailer that connects to the charge port.

Competitive/Pricing/Notes

Currently, software locks out the ability to drive if the charge port is in use so that it is not ripped out when connected and driving off.  With a trailer-powered battery and inverter, you’d like to power and charge the vehicle while driving. Some kind of safety override would be required – perhaps with a special connector sensed by the car that allows driving while connected to the trailer.

Moderator: It still seems like there could be some serious risks.  For example, the trailer is unhitched, but the connection remains. Driving off would rip out the connection and damage the car.
