Still a new article about it. Would be nice to have them in a single thread, tho...FYI, this was posted on here before.
Then you leave it attached to your home power system. When you're away, your home's need for power drops, and hence, won't need batteries sitting around doing nothing...The only thing that comes up as a negative about this in my head is that, if you're only taking it out a few times a year, it's kind of a waste of the battery cells. Better to have them in an actual EV than spend 95% of their lives just sitting around doing nothing.
Really what this world needs is a battery rental service that offers like 10 standardized battery sizes. The applications are endless from farm equipment that gets used once or twice a season like large tillers, to outdoor recreational toys like dirtbikes, boats etc. to big trailers. Its really a shame to have all this capacity and increasingly sparse battery resources sitting around.Then you leave it attached to your home power system.

Tesla isn't there yet, but this is future tech we're talking about.

Hauling all the weight of a huge battery when you only need it 5-10 times a year seems like a bad trade off. I would love to see something like a power wall that was in your trailer. You could hook it up to your solar if you have it or use it as a house back up. It could be permanently mounted in the trailer or removable (probably pretty heavy but it could have wheels) Then when you needed it you slide it into the bed of the truck or into a compartment on your trailer and off you go.Just build an Ev with a battery big enough to tow already.
This ”I’m an EVTrlr net-zero” angle is a moment in time not a real vehicle”. Call it what it is. Airstream is EOL when no cars OR pickups can tour the country dragging their shiny bedrooms.
There awaits a ton of hurt connecting a “pusher” drive unit up to a center pull tow hitch then expect it to work in reverse and in tandem with the towing power unit, pushing forward.
Yup, future tech.Then you leave it attached to your home power system. When you're away, your home's need for power drops, and hence, won't need batteries sitting around doing nothing...
