Yahoo Autos Detroit Startup Lets the E-Transit Live Its Dreams as an EV Camper
The Ford E-Transit: becoming what it always dreamed it could be.
Everything’s electric these days, from toothbrushes to bikes you can find a battery pack in almost anything. But while cars have gradually been moving in this way as well, one area of transport that has been slower on the electric uptick is the world of camper vans. Now, a startup in Detroit is preparing to launch an EV RV based on Ford’s all-electric E-Transit.
In case you missed it:
Called Grounded RVs, the electric camper is hoping to be the first of its kind to market, after companies like Winnebago and Nissan unveiled concept vehicles of their own. However, while those creations were merely test beds for future ideas, Grounded RVs says this model will hit the showroom floor by the end of this year.

So, when it does make it into reality, what can you expect from an all-electric camper like this?
Minimalist vibes.
Well, starting with the good stuff, you get a lovely minimalist interior. Grounded uses a modular design for its interior details, and it incorporates a kitchen with a refrigerator, sink and stove, a queen-sized bed, and bench seating, which can also double up as an extra sleeping area.
That living space can also be customized to your needs, and Grounded showcases various layouts that include two single beds rather than a queen, or elongated bench seating to fit more passengers. Really, the world is your lobster here.
