If you’ve followed me much on here, you’ll notice that I like to cover the challenges of EV towing and electric RVs. Electric vehicles are a great option for towing due to their instant torque and smooth acceleration. However, they do have some limitations when it comes to towing. One of the main reasons why EVs struggle with towing is because of their limited range.
Thousand Trails has recently installed a new premium RV storage section at the Wilderness Lakes Campground in Menifee, California. The RV storage is topped with almost 3,500 solar panels, which is part of their efforts to bolster their environmental impact.is a 1,469 kilowatt system that is anticipated to generate approximately 2.4 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy every year.
There will be an official ribbon-cutting and tour of Menifee’s new solar RV storage facility, hosted by the Menifee Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, February 21.Solar-powered EVs are much cleaner than those powered by grid electricity because they don’t rely on burning fossil fuels.
Even on something as big as an RV, there’s still only enough space for a couple of kilowatts of power at most unless you want to install a big folding or sliding solar array. But, bigger vehicles require more energy to move, so you’re still not getting ahead.
