"After securing $16 million in Pre-A funding, California-based Evotrex is eyeing next year's CES show in Las Vegas to reveal its first product, a rugged camping trailer that can allegedly keep the lights on without a grid connection. That sounds interesting, but it's worth noting that we've seen self-sustaining RV trailers before, with the Lightship AE.1 and Pebble Flow immediately coming to mind."
"What makes Evotrex's trailer a bit different, however, is the gas engine that's used to generate electricity when the sun doesn't shine. Generators are not something new in the RV industry, but the California startup claims its trailer is quieter and more efficient. It also claims it found a way to use the heat generated by the engine to keep the cabin warm, much like in a combustion car."
Evotrex secured $16 million in Pre-A funding to develop a self-sustaining, adventure-oriented RV trailer that combines rooftop solar panels with a gas engine generator to provide off-grid electricity. The company positions the trailer as quieter and more efficient than conventional generators and says it can repurpose engine heat to warm the cabin. No technical specifications or interior images have been released. Computer-generated images show a rugged four-wheeled design with chunky tires, roof-mounted solar panels, and a full-width rear door that opens to a rear deck. The founding team has experience in technology and automotive sectors.
