Probably easier to strap another 20kWh battery on the roof and use that as a spare! Might knacker the acceleration and cornering ability a tad, but hey ....

Ah, but the only problem with a trailer behind a trailer (to keep the axle loads down) is I think you might be restricted to 25 mpg or somesuch. Not a problem if everyone was doing it though ...

Because to fit a towbar (more the point technically) 'these days' the vehicle (and the Towbar I believe) has to be type approved for such and that would mean testing it with such ... and apart from Tesla in The States (and I'm not sure their regulations are the same as ours), no EV I'm aware of has been type approved for a towbar.
The same applies to the Ford Ka etc, so it's not just EV's.
Many (most?) Hybrids can tow because they are just ICE vehicles in any case. ;-)

Have you done the sums on how long a small generator would take to give you a meaningful range? How much the weight would effect the range if you carry it at all times?
Why not just by a hybrid in the first place?

Ah - right. Your emergency generator will run off electricity, then?

With a strong enough spring, you could use that for the return journey. Problem solved.
Or why not a clockwork generator to charge the battery? No need to carry fuel for that then.
