The Daily relies on a 107-hp (80-kW) electric motor and several battery options to offer up to 174 mi (280 km) of range (NEDC), in non-camper trim. Dethleffs has done its best to improve the e.home’s range by slapping on 334 sq ft (31 sq m) worth of thin-film solar panels.

uper capacitors allow for faster battery charging and discharging, providing better performance and more efficient power usage. The most important is that solar panels make this motor home self sustainable.
