Recently, electric trucks have encountered a stumbling block as truck owners express concerns about losing range, particularly when towing. However, what if the very item you’re towing could actually recharge your truck’s battery? This is precisely what California-based Evotrex is suggesting with its innovative RV, the Evotrex-PG5.

The standout feature of the Evotrex-PG5 is its “unified energy system,” which seamlessly integrates a substantial 43 kWh lithium-phosphate battery, 1.5 kW of solar panels, and a highly efficient gas-powered generator named Horizon. Acting as a range extender, this combination provides over 270 kWh of usable energy per cycle, empowering adventurers to venture beyond traditional boundaries. Proudly marketed as the world’s inaugural power-generating RV, Evotrex is redefining off-grid travel.

Energy replenishment occurs automatically through solar power, regenerative charging while on the move, and the fuel-efficient Horizon generator. Additionally, the PG5 is equipped with vehicle-to-load (V2L) power export capabilities, allowing users to effortlessly power tools, cooking appliances, or camping equipment directly from the trailer’s onboard system.

Once your towing journey concludes, you can plug your electric truck into the PG5 for an extended range. The RV’s battery supports AC charging at 6.6 kW and DC charging up to 60 kW, utilizing the Tesla-NACS charging standard. Besides functioning as a mobile retreat, the PG5 can even power your home during an outage.

To simplify energy management, Evotrex provides a Power Calculator, designed to analyze power needs based on environmental conditions and user preferences. Essentially, it forecasts how long you can remain off-grid while connected to the PG5’s external sources.

Moreover, the PG5 offers a host of amenities, including a queen-sized bed, a convertible dinette for two, energy-efficient appliances, a dry bath with a full shower and toilet, a double-burner induction cooktop, convection microwave, range hood, refrigerator, and a motorized patio deck for ultimate relaxation.

Naturally, none of this comes cheap, with the PG5 starting at $119,900. That places it among some of the most expensive motorhomes and camper vans on the market, but certainly makes a case for itself with all its extra power offerings. The fully loaded Atlas trim will cost even more, starting at $159,990. But it’s also not as heavy as I would have expected, with a gross vehicle weight of 9,500 lbs (8,350 lbns dry). Evotrex expects to start production in late 2026, with the first customer deliveries planned for early 2027.
