Description

Now for something fun — that can also be electricity generating infrastructure, if need be. My guest is Toby Kraus, co-founder and CEO of Lightship RV, the first American company to build all-electric RVs. The Lightship isn’t just a camper — it’s a battery on wheels, with solar on the roof, a pop-up design for aerodynamics, and its own motor to cancel out towing drag. That means you can take it off-grid for a week … or park it in your driveway and use it as backup power.


We talk about:

  • Why RVs are a surprisingly big climate story (one in ten American families owns one!)
  • The range problem with towing — and how Lightship solves it
  • Turning an RV into an ADU or a home backup system
  • How to make clean tech appeal beyond the early adopters


It’s the clean energy transition, with a side of camping.

👉 Next week, we’ll step away from the grid and hit the trails — stay tuned.
