That is quite the hypothetical there ! LOL
There would be some pretty beefy cables to handle that. Something like the DC charge cables or the Tesla Supercharger (given that during acceleration there could be some pretty high current draws from the car's batteries).
That is an interesting question: If you have a hybrid RV with something like 10kWh or even 20kWh of batteries and you're pulling something with 60kWh or more (maybe 100kWh) that could go a long way towards reducing fuel consumption in the RV.
The really interesting thing is that the RV could have some settings: Use all the power from the toad, only use up to XX% of the Toad's batteries, or charge up the toad as we'll be there in an hour.
Even better: If you're boondocking you can leave the toad plugged in and have 20kWh + 100kWh of electricity available. Camp for months without having to fire up the engine!
