You may recall that about this time last year there was a whole slew of RV prototypes revealed (this week is the big RV show in Tampa Florida where RV manufacturers show off their latest models). Last year Thor showed off three and Winnebago had one.
This year Winnebago is showing off “version 2” of their EV RV prototype. This one is built on the eTransit chassis (so that they didn’t have to convert one to EV–easier starting point). As a consequence its range is only 100 miles and change. The Ford’s eTransit is really built for inner city deliveries and service workers; not really for long haul trucking and its range reflects this.
Apparently they built quite a few of these for testing. Enough that they were letting just about every reporter and vlogger drive it around (here is a sampling):
There are event articles about it.
The funny thing about most of the reporting here is that it is being done by RV enthusiasts who don’t have much experience in the EV world and, in many cases, don’t ask all the right questions LOL.
Oh well..EV RV’s are coming…slowly….
