What is it?
I saw this inward the parking lot of the hotel where I'm staying. Inspection: yes, it's the chassis of an early on 1970s VW, amongst motor as well as transmission inward place. The motor appears functional. It's connected to the gas cans. Yet, this is a trailer. Why? (Hint: it's parked side past times side to a novel Toyota CRV electrical car.)
Answer: The possessor has a dainty novel Toyota CRV electric. He extolled the virtues of the electric, its greenness, as well as the taxation breaks as well as gratis charging options. But, it entirely has a 120 mile range, as well as sometimes he needs to motility longer distances on the freeway. This is Utah, later all.
So... the VW trailer. When inward need, he puts the trailer inward fourth gear, as well as turns on its electrical system. The trammel is stuck amount open. He pulls it to larn going put, set put put... Then, the trailer pushes the machine along. What if he needs to dull down? No problem, he hits the regenerative brakes on the Toyota, as well as hence straightaway the VW is too charging upwards his batteries!
American ingenuity is withal alive!
I did non inquire if the highway patrol was aware of simply how the trailer functions. Or the DOT, EPA, NHTSA, etc. etc.
