RV to EV
RVshare is excited about the future of Electric Vehicle travel. We are working closely with manufacturers like Lightship, Aero Build, and Winnebago on their production of EV RVs. The platform estimates that EV RVs will be readily available to rent on RVshare by early to mid-2024. With more than 35% of RVs being rented for “try before you buy” purposes, we believe that number will rise when EVs are available to rent. Since demand will be greater than the supply at the beginning, renting an EV RV will cost around $200-$300 per night to rent.
RVshare recently partnered with Grounded and is making their G1 electric camper vans available for rent to the Detroit market on the platform. Today, RVshare only lists other eco-friendly options like solar-powered RVs and self-sustaining units that can go without power or water hook-ups for 5-6 days. This program, which is also supported by the Michigan Office for Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME), will provide sustainable travel options for travelers in a historically underserved city via a fleet of E-RVs available for daily hire.

Travelers Have Positive Sentiment Towards EV
With more Electric RVs hitting the market, it leaves room for more renters to trial different vehicle models on the road, without leaving a big footprint. Though a newer option, half of travelers view a trip in an electric RV positively, seeing them as a great way to save money and protect the environment. Another 28% find the idea interesting, though they aren’t ready to try it right away.
The future is certainly EV-powered and RVs are not staying behind. With more options in the market each year this trend is only getting started!
