Summary

The article discusses how legacy companies like Winnebago and newcomers like Lightship and Pebble are electrifying their systems and changing the vehicle model in the trailer industry. As more Americans move to electric cars, the towing industry needs to evolve due to the battery drain caused by towing. Pebble, a California-based startup, has invented a self-propelled, self-powered, remote-controlled trailer that aims to address this issue. The article highlights the use of renewable energy from solar panels and an integrated electric motor in the trailer. The focus on technology and the demand from tech-savvy millennials are also mentioned. Pebble has received funding and plans to release its first models in 2024.
