The perfect choice for the modern adventurer

An analysis of the RV market

You see more and more electric cars driving by. But what about electric campervan? A previous article discussed the rising popularity of campervans over caravans, but as recent research shows, the development of the electric camper market still faces some challenges. In this blog post, we discuss how EV Camper continues to confidently invest in electric camping with smart solutions and a sustainable vision.

The current state of the electric motorhome market

Although electric vehicles have become ubiquitous on the streets, the electric campervan remains a niche. With the batteries on board, an electric campervan quickly weighs 400 to 600 kilos more, making it a challenge to stay under the maximum gross vehicle weight for a B license. Other challenges include range and less developed charging infrastructure abroad. These are challenges we also recognize at EV Camper. To tackle these, we like to think about smart solutions for our customers.

Our Stress-Free Charging Bundle

One of our solutions is the "Stress-free Charging" bundle, which you can book with any motorhome rental. This bundle includes a charging pass that gives you access to all charging points in Europe, and a mobile charger that allows you to charge the campervan even on a standard power outlet - ideal for camping. Combined with route planning apps such as A Better Route Planner (ABRP) and Electric Route, which we offer as standard, we help our customers plan their routes and find suitable charging points. 

Future of electric camper vans

Although the major motorhome brands are still reluctant to build all-electric full-size motorhomes because of the technical challenges with weight, this actually creates excellent opportunities for lighter electric motorhome vans. These smaller vehicles are lighter and more maneuverable, making them more efficient with battery capacity and can be driven by anyone with a B license. At EV Camper , we see this as the future for electric camping: a combination of mobility, sustainability and comfort, in a compact electric vehicle.

Together toward a more sustainable vacation alternative

Although the market for electric campervans is still developing, EV Camper is positive about the future. We believe electric camping will become an increasingly important part of the recreation market, and we are determined to be at the forefront of this development.
