And there’s really a lot more innovation that could end up in a production model. Airstream is also looking into the possibility of bidirectional charging, and powering the home from its battery. It also needs to apply some more problem-solving to the space down below. With the two 40-kwh packs occupying the space on either side of the axle and motor unit, Wheeler suggested that they’ll need “some new thinking about water and waste.”
Just as we’re starting to see for electric trucks, there will be some innovative new solutions to enable getting away from it all, familiar but different. And for a classic form factor, the eStream is a creative start to look forward to.
