Even if you own the most powerful car in the world, towing a big trailer will significantly reduce its range. It\u2019s a problem that people don\u2019t talk about much, but Thor Industries may have found a solution.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0Airstream eStream electric trailer concept<\/a>, which Thor showed off during the\u00a02022 Florida RV SuperShow, features a\u00a0ZF electric powertrain with\u00a0242 horsepower and 132 foot-pounds of torque. When you tow this trailer, its powertrain kicks in to take some of the load off your towing vehicle, saving mileage or gasoline throughout your journey.<\/p>\n

Because of its\u00a080 kilowatt-hour batteries and\u00a0900 watts worth of solar panels, the Airstream eStream shouldn\u2019t run out of power during a long journey. In fact, when you arrive at your destination, you can use a remote control to \u201cdrive\u201d the camper (without a towing vehicle) to whatever location you want to leave it.<\/p>\n

And man, this trailer has a slick interior. We\u2019re talking voice and touch controls for lighting and air conditioning, a fancy kitchenette, and oodles of entertainment devices. Thor claims that the Airstream eStream can charge \u201cmust faster than low-voltage alternatives,\u201d though its solar panels should get you by if you\u2019re far from a charging station.<\/p>\n

Thor says that the Airstream eStream is just a concept and may never enter production. I hope that the company is lying, or at the very least, that it will sell an improved model in the near future. Of course, the Airstream eStream is probably way beyond my imaginary \u201ctrailer budget,\u201d but a man can dream.<\/p>\n
