Luxury RV brand Bowlus announced a new, all-electric addition to its lineup, the Volterra, which claims to be the world's first production EV RV.
With satellite internet, 480W solar panels, a 50-gallon fresh water tank, and a 17 kWh battery system, the Volterra is ready to take you on a lengthy, allegedly indefinite, journey. The Volterra, which sleeps four and is just over 27 feet long, starts at a whopping $310,000, making it Bowlus's most expensive RV by a large margin.
When the apocalypse comes, why shouldn't you hunker down in the height of American-engineered, minimalist luxury? After a long day of fighting zombies and maniacal Guzzoline-obsessed warlords, you deserve to enjoy satellite internet from a memory foam king bed cloaked in sustainable linen after padding around on heated floors.
So maybe the Volterra isn't quite up for the trials and tribulations of an apocalypse. I mean, who among us? However, the Volterra does offer the opportunity for the luxe off-grid living of many people's vanlife fantasies and, at its core, a compelling zero-emissions adventure.Though there is an optional propane backup, the Volterra is meant to be experienced electrically.
Where does the poop go?
