This article states the range as 125 miles. Another article I read recently listed the range as 85 to 120 miles depending on the vehicle weight and options.
Sounds like a great way to see the whole country, one neighborhood at a time!

I wonder if they pulled those numbers from a windless day with a perfectly flat and smooth road. Manufactures tend to test at the most extremes of perfect conditions that will never be met in normal use. I say good luck to em

I'd guess this is more of a "concept vehicle"... but kudos to Winnebago for jumping in and taking that first step. Technology and design will improve, and prices will come down.. and somebody has to start the process,

I wonder how long it would take to recharge one with a roof full of solar panels :-)

Its not an RV but more for bloodmobiles, bookmobiles etc. Which travel very short distances. They have a long way to go before electric will be ready for RV's.

There is significant progress being made developing EV tractor trailers. It will happen eventually and it is all good for our future generations. The trucking industry will take the lead with super range tractors and the RVIA will jump in to make sure Winnebago and others successfully electrify their product lines. I can’t wait for the EV autos to become mainstream and draw to a close the fossil fuel era.
