Electric Solar-Powered Campers

Lightship designs the L1 Trailer with Futuristic Elements

— March 15, 2023 — Lifestyle
Lightship unveils its new design in the form of the L1 trailer, which is designed by Ben Parker, a former engineer at Tesla. The L1 stands out as it also functions as a portable charger fueled by its own powertrain that allows it to move by itself without needing to drain the electric battery. As back up, there is an 80-kWh battery pack with solar panels that help produce up to 3 kW of energy.

Notably, the additional power that is generated by the aforementioned solar panels can also be used to charge the main electric vehicle when there is no charging outlet available. This idea came into fruition when Parker went on a long trip during the pandemic and was met with inefficient designs.
