This got me curious about existing solutions that might be technologically adjacent. From poking around a bit I see that refrigerated shipping containers have a standard known as "reefer socket" (yes, seriously) for which suitably large/rugged distribution units exist, but they seemingly only provide electricity and not connections that could be used for water/sewer (some containers are described as water-cooled, but it's not clear to me how that works).
- olefoo 8y agoShipping containers would be a good starting point for standardization. RVs have standard fittings for evacuating the black water tanks and taking on water. It seems like the parts are there for building a relatively cheap format for people being able to own their living unit and ( at some expense ) relocating it. I have thought that with the engineering flexibility of electric drivetrains we'd see some innovation in terms of vehicle arrangements. I'm really surprised nobody makes a set of drive wheels that attach to the corners of a standard TEU and let someone pilot it with a game controller.
