“We brought the first electric travel trailer with lithium iron phosphate batteries to market, and now the evolution to our Volterra model marks the final step to being fully electric,” said Geneva Long, founder and CEO of Bowlus. “The new Volterra will benefit customers as the perfect complement to an electric vehicle.
