Overland Expo West is always full of amazing adventure rigs, and this year the buzz was around electric vehicles. This was the first time we saw not just one, but two fully-electric trailers. It was exciting to see brands take the technology that’s been proven in electric cars and find clever ways to bring it into overlanding, and the R&D that went into these products will likely trickle down throughout the overland market.
Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition ($250,000)
Our favorite build of the show was the Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition. The Cosmos is the premier offering from Lightship, featuring its own electric batteries that power the trailer wheels. That means that when you’re towing the Cosmos behind your electric SUV, you’ll have zero (or very little) range loss and not have to worry that the trailer weight is going to bog you down and leave you stranded. The trailer also has 1,800 watts of rooftop solar panels that help its batteries stay topped off. Inside, it’s one of the roomiest camping trailers we’ve ever toured, with a huge space for hosting meals, an ample bedroom, a slick kitchen, and a well-featured bathroom.
