Ford Strategy for Charging EVs When They are Towed |
|
Ford has patented a strategy for charging electric vehicles when they are being towed like many RV owners do now, towing their cars behind their RVs. This could be:
- Full-time charging of the towed vehicle (placing a larger load on the towing vehicle);
- Only charging the towed vehicle when the towing vehicle is going downhill (allowing regenerative braking in the towed vehicle to assist braking for the combination).
- Allowing the towed vehicle to both push the towing vehicle uphill, and use regenerative braking when going downhill.
