Electric trailers like this Airstream concept will allow EVs to drive even further.
The classic Airstream trailer is going electric. Airstream parent company Thor Industries recently unveiled an electric trailer concept that could open the door to more environmentally-friendly glamping.
Unveiled at the 2022 Florida RV SuperShow, the Airstream eStream concept uses built-in battery packs and an electric motor to reduce the range loss of electric tow vehicles, or the fuel economy of gasoline or diesel rigs, Thor Industries said.stretch the rangeAn electric motor drives the trailer's axle in certain situations, allowing the trailer to push itself and thus reduce the load on the tow vehicle.
While the eStream is officially just a concept, technology like this could prove useful in the real world. EVs can see range drop nearly in half when towing, and most public charging stations can't accommodate trailers. So anything that could potentially boost range would be a big help to EV-driving campers.
