Method and system for magnetic platooning of vehicles is disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle includes a battery and a vehicle coupler that includes a magnet carrier block having at least one power terminal and at least one magnet. The at least one power terminal is supplied by the battery and the magnet carrier block is configurable in one of two modes. In a first mode, the at least one magnet is disabled from magnetically coupling to a second vehicle coupler. In a second mode, the at least one magnet is enabled to magnetically couple to the second vehicle coupler.
