It’s like a Ram 1500 Ramcharger, only you can sleep, make dinner and take a shower in it.
The 'world's first' extended-range Class A Motorhome is the result of a collaboration between Thor Industries and Harbinger Motors. It uses a 1.4-liter gas engine to turn a generator. The motorhome also has a 140-kWh battery pack that can be topped up from a DC or AC charger.
The battery architecture is rated at 800 volts and the packs can be DC fast-charged in one hour. Power can also be exported from the battery pack, transforming the RV into a generator that can power a whole house during outages. The prototype, called simply the Thor Test Vehicle, has a total estimated range of 500 miles with both the battery and the fuel tank full. On battery power alone, the RV can drive for about 150 miles, while the gas range-extender adds another 350 miles to the mix.
