Or when an EV RV comes along, the EV battery is your power battery.
EV RVs:
- better torque for travelling and towing
- regen braking
- skateboard battery for maximum interior space and storage
- simpler powertrain
- battery can function as a home powerwall when you're home, if you have a home
- solar panels to keep energy-positive while parked
- low center of gravity to offset some of the RV tippiness
And Starlink keeps you connected everywhere you go...
And IF they solve highway self-driving to the point you can safely let the RV drive and self-recharge overnight... oh my god.
- Dylan16807 4y agoI'm not saying it's not good or that it lacks synergy, I'm just saying the EV part isn't important for the specific goal of an electric off-grid experience. > And IF they solve highway self-driving to the point you can safely let the RV drive and self-recharge overnight... oh my god. A moderately optimistic estimate for power production is about 1kWh per square meter of panels per day. With a 25 square meter roof, and saving 80% of the power, that's 20kWh and probably gives you 20-40 miles of range. (If you meant driving and recharging overnight via plugging in, then sure that's cool, but self-driving with stops at stations isn't inherently an electric-exclusive experience.)
