Dethleffs designed a Type C motorhome around the Iveco Daily Electric chassis. 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. The cabin of the e.home is built onto an Iveco Daily Electric chassis.

The vehicle is fully kitted out as a motorhome, however, that range per charge may be significantly shorterDethleffs 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.Official video shows Dethleffs first all-electric, solar-backed motor home.DethleffsTV
These panels can generate up to 3,000 watts of electricity to keep the 228-Ah sodium-nickel-chloride battery array charged. Super capacitors allow for faster battery charging and discharging, providing better performance and more efficient power usage.
