Neither company would say if the concept would eventually head to production, but Airstream's Wheeler acknowledged that the company is considering it for the future. Overall, the interior design is what you'd expect from Porsche Design, and features clean lines, rounded edges, and plenty of chrome and carbon-inspired color schemes. The dinette, which also folds into a bed, is situated at the rear of the camper's cabin and overhead storage bins omit traditional cabinet doors in favor of light-weight webbing. "The curvature and the softness is the most important thing," said Steffen Ganz, head of design for Porsche Design of America. "We know that our owners do not park in campgrounds for summers or seasons they're on the road." It's already here and it's continuing to grow," Wheeler said, about the increasing number of EVs on the road. Rival RV manufacturers Winnebago and Bowlus are both working on eco-friendly travelers as well with electrified options. And Airstream isn't the only brand considering what over-the-road travel looks like in an EV future. That trailer featured an electrified powertrain of its own which could be used to slowly adjust the trailer's location when it was unhitched from the tow vehicle or assist an electric-powered tow vehicle while on the move. Weight and aerodynamics play a big part in that."Īirstream has already been toying with the idea of electrification the company unveiled the eStream concept last year.
"Towing a travel trailer cuts down on the range.
"Our customer base is about twice as likely to own an EV than the general population," said Bob Wheeler, Airstream's CEO.
