New RV Trailer Boosts EV Range While Towing For A Lot Less Than The Competition
"Two versions of the PG5 trailer are available, and both come with a 43-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, a dual-axle setup powered by a single electric motor, and a gas-powered Horizon generator. The electric motor can assist while towing, limiting the range loss for the vehicle in front, and the gas engine can kick in whenever it's needed to recharge the battery or keep the lights on."
"Evotrex claims that its trailer is compatible with vehicle-to-home (V2H), which means it can act as a home generator when the lights go out. It can provide energy from its battery or from the gas engine to the house's main electrical panel. With a full gas tank and a full battery, a total of 270 kilowatt-hours of energy is available, according to the startup."
"There's a Tesla-style port and a NEMA 13-50 AC power outlet at the rear, which can export up to 12 kW of power to anything from appliances to other EVs. On the more expensive version of the trailer, a second NACS port is placed at the front, and it can export up to 60 kW of DC power to an EV, but that power comes directly from the gas generator"
Evotrex PG5 pairs a 43-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a single-motor, dual-axle electric assist and a gas-powered Horizon generator. Two versions share the same battery and motor layout, with the higher-end model adding a second front NACS DC port capable of 60 kW export from the generator. A rear NACS port and a NEMA 13-50 AC outlet can export up to 12 kW for appliances or EV charging. The trailer supports vehicle-to-home (V2H) operation to power a house via battery or generator. With a full battery and full tank, the system supplies up to 270 kWh.
