A system and method for charging a battery electric vehicle having a tractor and a trailer. The system may include a regenerative braking system configured to generate energy during deceleration of the battery electric vehicle, a tractor side battery pack, a trailer side battery pack, an inductive charging device configured to transfer energy between the tractor side battery pack and the trailer side battery pack, and a battery management system. The battery management system is configured to control a flow of energy between the regenerative braking system, the tractor side battery pack, and the trailer side battery pack based on a state of charge of the tractor side battery pack, a state of charge of the trailer side battery pack, or both the state of charge of the tractor side battery pack and the state of charge of the trailer side battery pack.
