Lightship’s Self-Propelled Trailer Looks Like A Jobsite Game Changer—And An EV Range Saver

• Lightship, the company behind the futuristic AE.1 self-powered RV trailer, has a new product.
• The PowerSled is based on the same underpinnings as the luxury camper, but it’s geared toward jobsites and emergency response situations.
• It packs a huge LFP battery that can drive the trailer’s wheels, improving the towing vehicle’s efficiency.

Towable generators are great for job sites where there is no access to electricity. However, they’re noisy, they emit nasty fumes into the air, and they usually take up the whole trailer, which means a second vehicle and a second trailer are needed if the workers have to haul a lot of stuff.
