According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf stop go
really eats into the range, probably to do with using climate control
and the physics of getting a stationary object moving.
Not sure if the trailer idea would be suitable for everyone, some people
are not comfortable towing a trailer, however the concept is good
insofar that if you build a proper camping trailer with fridge and 240v
power and hook it up to a EV 4x4.
Yes the lack of oil threads will be a problem but would they not still
use grease in some bearings, M1 grease? Perhaps we'll have to have
battery threads?

IIRC one of their problems was that Nissan advertised a range of 100
miles, but under normal conditions it only gets 70 miles. That made it
close, but they could still make the round trip in bus lanes.

Depending on how much extra capacity she needs a small generator
might make sense. I've got a 1200w 2 stroke generator that will run 8
hours at 50% load with 1 gallon of gas. It wouldn't make a huge
difference but if she only needed a little more...
Sounds like her commute was iffy for the car and they're running the
AC hard. Stop and go traffic shouldn't hurt the range of an EV
anywhere near what it does to a gas car.
