at various events in Colorado throughout the year, including the Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado from August 25-27.
The Lightship L1 travel trailer is a purpose-built, aerodynamic all-electric RV developed by a team which includes alumni from EV startups such as Rivian, Proterra, Lucid, Zoox, and Tesla. The company says the L1's design is three times more aerodynamic than a traditional travel trailer, offering longer range and greater efficiency. This means a 300-mile range EV used to tow it remains a 300-mile range EV, and a 25-mpg gas truck remains a 25-mpg gas truck.
That's because the trailer features its own electric powertrain with up to 80 kilowatt-hours of onboard battery capacity, which allows it to propel itself and achieve near-zero range or efficiency loss for the tow vehicle.'s battery system is said to provide a week of off-grid power without charging, especially since it also has up to 3 kW of solar power. The trailer also benefits from an ecosystem of all-electric appliances, connected features, and modern amenities.
The L1 starts at $125,000 or $118,400 after an available tax credit and is available now for a $500 reservation fee.
