"Electric trucks seem to have hit a pothole recently, ignored by truck owners who say they're worried about losing too much ranging from towing. But what if the thing your towing could also pump electrons back into your truck's battery when all's said and done? That what California-company Evotrex is proposing with its new RV, the Evotrex-PG5. The secret to the Evotrex-PG5 is its"
"The secret to the Evotrex-PG5 is its "unified energy system" that combines a massive 43 kWh lithium-phosphate battery, 1.5 kW of solar, and an ultra-efficient gas-powered onboard generator called Horizon, which acts as a range extender of sorts. Evotrex says that these energy sources working together can deliver more than 270 kWh of usable energy on a single cycle, giving off-grid seekers more freedom to extend their journeys beyond the normal limits. The company is billing it as the world's first power-generating RV."
Evotrex-PG5 is an RV with a unified energy system that integrates a 43 kWh lithium‑phosphate battery, 1.5 kW of solar panels, and an efficient Horizon gas generator. The combined sources can deliver more than 270 kWh of usable energy per cycle, enabling extended off-grid travel and longer trips. The generator functions as a range extender while solar and regenerative charging top up power automatically during use and towing. The PG5 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) power export to run tools, cooking gear, and campsite equipment directly from the trailer's onboard power system.
