All-electric Winnebago motorhome revealed
Battery-powered e-RV Concept provides glimpse of zero-emissions motorhome futureWell-known American manufacturer Winnebago is the latest RV company to dip its toes into the brave new world of battery-powered motorhomes.
Making its debut at the 2022 Florida RV Super Show, Winnebago says the e-RV Concept was developed over two years by the manufacturer's Advanced Technology Group.
The zero-emissions vehicle uses a modified Ford Transit platform, with the all-electric powertrain developed by Lightning eMotors.
The battery-powered motorhome delivers a range of up to 125 miles (201km) from its 86kWh lithium-ion powerpack which also powers all the onboard systems including the induction cooktop, compressor fridge, air-conditioner and water heater.
Battery recharge time at a fast charging station is estimated at 45 minutes, and Winnebago has also utilised 'green' materials where possible, including recycled cork-rubber flooring and woolen wall liner for extra insulation.
“Consumer demand is driving electric power applications across many fronts, and we believe RV consumers are poised to benefit from the enhanced features and usability that electrified and connected RV products will provide,” Winnebago Industries’ senior vice president of business development, advanced technology, and enterprise marketing, Ashis Bhattacharya said.
Winnebago hasn't announced if or when the e-RV Concept all-electric motorhome will make it into production.
