At night, you can charge up in order to do it all over again the next day.<\/p>\n<p>With solar power, you can also take the entire experience off-grid.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few electric motorhome projects that are looking to deliver that kind of experience to customers, but most of them are still in the <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/01\/19\/winnebago-e-rv-electric-motorhome-concept-kicks-off-a-new-era-of-rving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">concept stage or have a very limited range.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We recently reported on<a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/11\/30\/electric-vanlife-coming-2024-mercedes-esprinter-impresses-in-range-efficiency-tests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter<\/a> having impressive enough specs to potentially enable an electric \u201cvanlife\u201d, but what if you need, or want, something bigger?<\/p>\n<p>Tesla Semi could make for an interesting platform for an electric motorhome.<\/p>\n<p>The team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jowua-life.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jowua<\/a>, an interior accessory maker, thought so while watching the unveiling of the production version of Tesla Semi this week and decided to build renders of what a Tesla Semi motorhome could look like: <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1534\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Tesla Semi motorhome\" class=\"wp-image-269798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=150,110 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=300,221 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=768,565 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=1024,753 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=350,257 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=140,103 140w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome.jpg?resize=1360,1000 1360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1534px) 100vw, 1534px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>That\u2019s pretty badass-looking and the electric truck as the specs to back up that look.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem with most of the electric motorhome projects right now is that they have a limited range. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2018\/05\/02\/winnebago-all-electric-rv-platform-electric-motorhome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Winnebago built its own full-size electric motorhome,<\/a> but it only has 125 miles of range.<\/p>\n<p>With the unveiling of the production version this week, Tesla confirmed that the <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/12\/02\/tesla-semi-900-kwh-battery-pack-but-more-answers-needed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tesla Semi has a roughly 900 kWh battery pack<\/a> and can travel more than 500 miles with a full load at 82,000 lbs total.<\/p>\n<p>And the Tesla Semi would likely achieve an even greater range as a motorhome since it would likely be lighter than 82,000 lbs. Some of the heaviest 40+ feet-long motorhomes today rarely weigh more than 50,000 lbs. Tesla Semi is heavier than most class 8 trucks, but there should be a way to build a motorhome on the platform and keep the weight under 70,000 lbs, which should result in efficiency gains.<\/p>\n<p>You could likely drive over 600 miles in a single day in a Tesla Semi motorhome without charging and then charge overnight. You\u2019d be able to cover impressive distances in just a few days. All without emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Jowua also produced a render of the interior of their vision of a Tesla Semi motorhome:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1530\" height=\"1502\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-269799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg 1530w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=150,147 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=300,295 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=768,754 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=1024,1005 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=350,344 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=140,137 140w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Tesla-Semi-motorhome-interior.jpg?resize=1019,1000 1019w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1530px) 100vw, 1530px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>It would probably require some cooperation from Tesla, but there should be a way to power the living features of the motorhome with the powertrain\u2019s battery pack.
