Electric vehicle technology, having zipped from sedans to scooters to tractors, finally is connecting to homes on wheels. And, similarly to autos, it is starting on the swanky end of the market.
Airstream, the brand of silver-bullet shaped campers, has rolled out an electrified travel trailer that will help its parent, RV giant Thor Industries, navigate towards an emissions-free future.
