The Pebble electric travel trailer, featuring self-propulsion and a detachable power pack, is set to enter production early this year.
The production-intent version of the Pebble electric travel trailer debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show. California-based startup Pebble this week unveiled a production-intent version of its Pebble electric travel trailer, which it hopes to being delivering to customers in the first half of the year.
The trailer features self-propulsion to assist a tow vehicle, helping to counteract the substantial range loss and lower fuel economy EVs and internal-combustion vehicles experience, respectively, while towing. Battery specs for the production-intent version are unchanged, but Pebble claims to have made changes to the drivetrain, which can also be used to align the trailer with a tow hitch or maneuver it in and out of parking spaces remotely, similar to Hyundai's Smart Park Assist or Tesla's Summon features. Pebble has claimed all along that the battery pack can be used as a power source at campsites as well, with supplementary charging from a built-in generator. A full recharge will likely require use of a conventional charging connector, though. The production version features updates inside and out from the original concept version. Tweaks to the exterior, such as integrated taillights, aim to lower aerodynamic drag. Pebble also claims improved ground clearance and a larger pass-through storage space, and has added all-terrain levelers and a hitch receiver for accessories like bike racks. Inside, cabinets now flip up rather than down for easier access, while side and rear windows now flip open to increase airflow. Pebble said it also increased the door opening, found more storage space, and added a motorized awning. The awning can be deployed along with lights, stairs, and stabilizers as part of a one-touch setup feature. Pebble is offering the trailer in two configurations: a single-motor version starting at $115,000 and a dual-motor version that bundles most major tech features for $135,500. But the company has confirmed that the first examples will be Founders Editions with all option boxes checked, and available limited-edition colors for $175,000. Production is slated to begin early in the year, with the first customer deliveries soon after that
