We are starting to see a few companies looking to enter the camper and motorhome segments with all-electric options.
Nissan is now testing the waters by unveiling an all-electric camper based on the e-NV200 van to be released in Spain.
Motorhomes and campers are often associated with freedom. The idea that you can take your entire home on the road and explore the world is extremely appealing to many.
Electric campers would have the same appeal, but they could also push it to a whole new level.
Those vehicles are currently gas-guzzlers and all-electric versions could significantly reduce the cost of operation and the pollution from the segment.
To a certain degree, it could even elevate the level of freedom. With enough range, you could technically drive most of the day and park at a camping spot with service to charge overnight and then get back on the road the next day.
Several companies are starting to tentatively enter the space.
A German company recently unveiled a full-size electric motorhome prototype and Winnebago launched an all-electric RV platform. But neither currently have a good enough powertrain to make those vehicles viable electric motorhomes yet.
Tesla fans are dreaming about one with a Tesla electric motorhome concept based on Tesla Semi, but Nissan is now making it real with a modified version of the new e-NV200.
The vehicle was unveiled in May, but it went under the radar because it was only released in Spain
