Winnebago has decided to demonstrate what its battery-powered e-RV is capable of by making a trip from Washington D.C. to Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
The route was 2,221
kilometers long and took 26 hours of driving with the average speed close to 85 km/h. The company spent US$ 275 on multiple charge-ups along the way.
Had the camper burned gas instead (assuming US$ 5 rate), it would have burned through US$ 690.
The Winnebago e-RV Concept debuted in
January this year based on a modified Ford Transit chassis offering around 201
km of electric range. It comes packed with camping-friendly
features including a kitchen, a bathroom and a water boiler. The interior
largely uses eco-friendly materials for the fit and finish. Despite being
technically a design study, the Winnebago e-RV will lend some of its tech to
future production models, the company says.
