I think this is the perfect size for a 'toad' vehicle. However, I know that with electric cars, weight can be an issue, and they don't have a true neutral gear, which is another problem. I understand that flat towing can damage the battery. The towing problem could be solved by having a true neutral gear, disengaging the transmission and battery. Many motorhomes have built-in generators, so the battery could be charged using that when a charger can't be found.

Not likely to be feasible. Unless they equip the motor with a clutch to disengage the driveshafts, the regen created by towing would overcharge the battery.
But you could put it on a trailer.

I can see this truck blow up with Motorhome owners for a simple pull be hind car. Why small jeep are high demand with them and other small easy to pull cars.
