Because where there’s a will, there’s a way, this is a video of Youtuber Warped Perception ‘super-tow-charging’ his Tesla Model S using the car’s regenerative braking, by being towed behind a Mercedes E55 on the highway at 70MPH. Being towed at 70MPH for around 25-miles recharges the vehicle at 65,000 watts. For reference, it takes 1.21 jigowatts (aka gigawatts, 1.21-billion watts) to power the flux capacitor in Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean, so this won’t work if you’re trying to power that. “A logical reference point.” I try to make things accessible to the average reader.
