Checking out the Winnebago eRV-2
Dave SolbergDescription
Join RV expert Dave Solberg as he takes us on a quick walkthrough of the Winnebago e-RV2, the second generation of the company’s groundbreaking all-electric camper van. The RV boasts a lithium ion battery that allows for up to seven days of boondocking power.
The Winnebago e-RV2 is outfitted on a Ford platform – the E-Transit all-electric van – and it’s an evolution of the original e-RV model that broke ground in the industry. Lithonic battery technology is mounted horizontally to not take up important front and rear space in the vehicle, and it has a 900 watt solar panel system to power your electronics.
Driving range is 100-125 miles before needing a charge (which will take about 45 minutes). The Ford vehicle was originally designed for delivery companies that didn’t travel more than 100 miles per day. But the Winnebago team wanted to get out ahead of the electric vehicle RV market – the battery technology will only improve and the mileage range will increase. If this type of electric RV piques your interest, find your local retailer and see if the Winnebago e-RV2 works for your traveling needs!
This is the Winnebago er B two, the most advanced electric vehicle in the industry. It's exciting. It's got lithium batteries. You can go seven days boon docking with this thing. It's on a Ford platform and it's gone all over the country.
Let's take a look. The two is not a new concept, rather an evolution from the er RV that was introduced earlier after a 1400 mile test drive last year. The two is built on the Ford E transit van and partnered with Lions technologies for the house systems placed horizontally in the floor to not take up living space in such a small unit with the 900 watt solar panel system, it can boondock for seven days. The driving range is only 100 to 125 miles before needing a charge. However, Ford designed the E transit for delivery vehicles that typically only drive about 75 miles per day.
Winnebago's advanced Technology group decided to develop the technology today for an all electric RV. Rather than wait for the longer battery life which will come. Currently, a level three charger will fully charge the engine batteries in about 45 minutes and it has all the sustainable hot buttons such as chia flooring, paper stone frames, recycled materials used throughout and boasts the most human centric vehicle they have ever created. Electric vehicles are the hottest thing in automobiles and trucks. But this is the first in the RV industry.
If you want to hit the road, unplug, this is the vehicle.
