Bowlus wants to become the first fully electric RV company worldwide. The American company launched the all-electric Bowlus Volterra last year, claiming it such a success that it now wants to electrify its entire lineup.
This just up front: The Bowlus RVs are trailers and do not have an electric drivetrain! However, the Volterra is equipped with a battery management system that can be charged via a solar system and provide travellers with electricity while off the grid.
Moreover, it is said to even charge the EV towing it, in case the latter runs out of juice. According to the company, “the 20 A Bowlus Emergency EV charge allows the Volterra to extend the range of an EV tow vehicle up to 65 miles.”
“Our move to fully electric is important because it sets a precedent,” said Geneva Long, founder and CEO of Bowlus. “Where most RV brands use old technology involving propane and gas or traditional batteries, we are making new ground, just like we always have. Picture yourself enjoying nature without the noise of a generator – it’s a fully immersive experience to be all-electric.”
