Towing is a sore level for would-be EV adopters (as Ford belatedly realizedto its price). Probably the most elegant answer might not be to bulk up on batteries within the towing car, however quite to affect the tow itself. This method holds nice promise not solely in trucking functions (see our latest function article, Electrifying the Field), but in addition within the RV world.
California-based Evotrex has launched an RV trailer that may generate its personal energy, intelligently handle power consumption, and even switch power to the towing car to maximise vary.
The Evotrex-PG5, which represents Evotrex’s entry into the RV market, affords “luxurious facilities and adventure-ready design,” and is designed for prolonged off-grid journey. It includes a unified power system that mixes a 43 kWh LFP battery, 1.5 kW of photo voltaic era capability, and a gas-powered onboard generator.
Just like the electrified semi-trailers supplied by Vary Power and Trailer Dynamics, Evotrex’s PG5 has its personal electrical motor, which is managed by a pressure sensor to help the towing car with simply the correct quantity of torque. This not solely will increase vary, but in addition stabilizes towing and improves maneuverability. As soon as unhitched, the identical system allows distant maneuvering for parking and campsite positioning.
The PG5 can export energy to run instruments, cooking gear and tenting gear (vehicle-to-load), or to produce backup energy to a house throughout outages (vehicle-to-home). An modern function referred to as RangeBoost allows vehicle-to-vehicle charging—the PG5 is able to bidirectional power switch to and from the towing car, extending usable vary.
“Our aim with the PG5 was to design an RV that empowers adventurers to discover with out compromise,” mentioned Alex Xiao, CEO and founding father of Evotrex. “Its power-generating capabilities and clever power administration system present the consolation, reliability and management wanted for assured off-grid journey.”
Preorders for the Evotrex-PG5 at the moment are open, and manufacturing is scheduled to start by the tip of 2026. The usual Evotrex-PG5 Pioneer mannequin begins at $119,990, and the totally loaded Evotrex-PG5 Atlas is priced at $159,990.
