One area of motorized transport that hasnt really made the switch, though, would definitely have to be trailers . Well, until now. Although its not for saleat least not yetthe Dethleffs e.home concept is something well be having our eyes on for quite a while.
The German company isnt pulling any punches in its eco-friendly design. Not only is the trailer entirely electric, its wrapped entirely in flashy solar panels that power it.
The 80-kilowatt motor has a battery pack that can go up to 174 miles on a single chargenot exactly a short distance by any measure. (Though, we will note, thats without all the incredible amenities on the inside weighing it down.) The battery is good for up to 15,000 charges, lasting around 155,000 miles of travel. Thats a lotta road.
And the inside is just that: incredible. They packed so much into this concept without making it feel cramped at all. In sum, you get: all the electric appliances you could need, dedicated sleeping areas, a luxe bathroom, a roomy kitchen, and more. Everythingright down to the heating system, which incorporates infrared elements into the floor and furnitureis built with efficiency in mind.
But it doesnt end there. The e.home is smart in every way a trailer can be. It features a Mobileye monitoring system for driver assistance and a smartphone app that lets you control the e.home remotely.
Its hard to imagine anything more modern and eco-friendly than this e.home concept. Unfortunately, for the moment, it is just that: a concept. Regardless, we believe youre looking at the future of mobile homes. Its just the only responsible way to go about it.
