Germany’s Wohnmobile Outlet Factory GmbH recently introduced an electric motorhome said to travel 186 miles.
This story by C.C. Weiss originally appeared in New Atlas.
WOF debuted the Iridium electric motorhome late last year. The Iridium is built on a Sevel chassis. A 106-kilowatt, lithium-iron-phosphate battery provides the juice for the 186 miles. Regenerative braking provides some help in keeping the battery charged, but once charge nears zero, users will have to plug in with a 50-kilowatt CCS fast-charger, a Type 2 charger. The driver cab includes a large digital display for monitoring the battery.
The Iridium motorhome will come in two specifications. The standard version will be based on WOF’s Bela Edition P69 and will launch later this year for a base price of $194,425. Company materials don’t include a floor plan or detailed spec list just yet, but they do mention standard onboard heating and a 150-liter refrigerator.
The second Iridium variant will launch in 2020 and will include a mono-shell built by Swiss fiberglass body specialist Maurer Fahrzeugbau.
The Iridium market launch is currently scheduled for the July/August timeframe.
