E105: Lightship, the all-electric RV that tows itself

Now for something fun — that can also be electricity generating infrastructure, if need be. My guest is Toby Kraus, co-founder and CEO of Lightship RV, the first American company to build all-electric RVs. The Lightship isn’t just a camper — it’s a battery on wheels, with solar on the roof, a pop-up design for aerodynamics, and its own motor to cancel out towing drag. That means you can take it off-grid for a week … or park it in your driveway and use it as backup power.We talk about:Why RVs are a surprisingly big climate story (one in ten American families owns one!)The range problem with towing — and how Lightship solves itTurning an RV into an ADU or a home backup systemHow to make clean tech appeal beyond the early adoptersIt’s the clean energy transition, with a side of camping.👉 Next week, we’ll step away from the grid and hit the trails — stay tuned.LINKS:Lightship RV: https://www.lightshiprv.comAll episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.comSubscribe to the newsletter: https://www.mollywood.coAd-free version + support the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.comWhat You Can Do: Subscribe and tell your friends about Everybody in the Pool!Send feedback or become a sponsor: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
