ELECTRIC OVERLANDING ADVENTURES ARE GETTING EASIER AND EASIER! | EPISODE 155

EV Channels Review

Ryan shares his insights from the Tread Academy Traction Series Overlanding Summit, highlighting the growing accessibility of overlanding for EV owners. A key takeaway was Optima Batteries' demonstration of a 55 kWh tow-behind battery, offering significant power for campsite amenities and vehicle charging, though its solar integration is primarily for daily electronics. The discussion also touched upon the suitability of lead-acid batteries for extreme overlanding conditions due to their reliability. Several overlanding products were showcased, including MORRFLATE for simultaneous tire inflation, Milestar tires with EV considerations, Hellwig suspension components, Rigid Industries lighting, HitchFire's hitch-mounted kitchen, Canyon Coolers for extended trips, Lance Off-road trailers, and the Shiftpod insulated shelter which provided exceptional warmth during cold nights. While the event wasn't exclusively EV-focused, the increasing presence of EV-specific solutions and considerations was evident, making overlanding more attainable for EV enthusiasts.
