While motorhomes have long been hugely popular among people who want to enjoy comfortable travel, the fact of the matter is that eco-friendly motoring is also gaining traction, with these two worlds colliding in brilliant fashion in the E. Home Coco, a concept electric motorhome devised by Dethleffs.
This electric motorhome comes fitted with an 80-kilowatt-hour battery that works in conjunction with a rooftop-mounted solar array that harvests energy from the sun. Elsewhere, the E.Home Coco also boasts smart electronics that allow it to move efficiently over treacherous terrain.
From a pure vehicular standpoint, the E.Home Coco remains a high-performing unit thanks to its ability to churn out 347 pounds-feet of torque, not to mention torque vectoring for boosted stability and control.
With its combination of an environmentally friendly powertrain and smart electronics, the E.Home Coco is the consummate electric motorhome.
