EV’s actually don’t tow very well. With their instant torque, they can move impressive loads, but only for shorter distances, as the vehicle range drops precipitously when towing.
Designed to extend the towing range of your Electric Vehicle (EV), The Boulder is a camping trailer filled with batteries to restore your EV to its original range – or better – when towing the Boulder.
The Boulder is a recreational camper trailer with a bank of batteries that can power your electrical amenities such as an induction stove, A/C, refrigerator, lights and other devices such as your computer and Starlink internet connection.
The Boulder holds 78 kWh of electrical energy storage – enough to power the average American home for almost 3 days.
With a campsite, or an off-grid cabin in the woods, you could roll up with several days of power to either un-plug or plug-in.
The Boulder is a whole home battery. Become your own micro-utility and store your extra renewable energy production instead of rolling back the meter by selling it back to the utility company.
Selling energy back to the utility would be great if it didn’t provide your extra energy to the utility at a steep discount – often below the utility’s own wholesale prices.
As part of a home battery solution, storing the excess energy from your solar panels or other renewable energy production, means you can use it when you need it – like in the evening – rather than subsidizing your utility with cheap energy.
With 78 kWh of electricity, The Boulder can serve as a whole house battery system. Other home battery systems, such as the Powerwall by Tesla, have battery capacities averaging between 10 kWh – 15 kWh with the ability to stack batteries together for increased capacities.
The Boulder’s 78 kWh capacity provides a whole home solution, while providing emergency power for your EV, or your whole home. And the ability to take that power on the road.
With nearly 3 days of power for the average household, The Boulder provides a reserve of energy to power your home through blackouts, and the Planned Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) that are becoming more common as extreme weather events increase in frequency and intensity.
Use energy from the grid when it is cheapest. Take advantage of The Boulder to draw and store electricity from the grid during off-peak hours at the cheapest rates and then use the energy stored in The Boulder in your home during peak hours. Instead of drawing electricity from the utility grid when it is most expensive – while contributing to balancing the grid.
Utilities use Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, with the price of electricity changing throughout the day. Rates can be significantly more expensive during peak demand (typically morning and evening).
In some instances, the price difference between peak and off-peak periods can be 25 cents per kilowatt-hour — or roughly $2.50 cents per day. Home battery storage can help shift grid usage away from high cost and towards low cost periods, adding up to substantial savings over time.
Most of these applications and solutions require additional electrical infrastructure in the home to provide smart-grid capabilities.
The Boulder serves as a standalone home battery system that integrates with those solutions to provide storage capacity, and the portability and flexibility to take that energy on the road.
