American camper trailer company Colorado Teardrops has unveiled its first purpose-built model for electric vehicles. Called The Boulder, it’s capable of recharging your EVs batteries when camping and can also accept DC fast charging itself.

The 12-foot teardrop camper has a 75 kilowatt-hours battery pack embedded into its powder-coated steel frame that can top-up the car’s main battery pack when parked. Dry weight is rated at 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds), which is less than I was expecting – for comparison, the conventional, battery-less Mount Massive trailer from Colorado Teardrops weighs 670 kg (1,470 lbs).

Moreover, the company’s website says that The Boulder can act like a “Powerwall on wheels,” providing energy to not just your EV, but also to your house. Because of this, it can qualify for a roughly $12,000 (approx. £9,950) federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act.

The EV-specific trailer can accommodate up to four people in a fully-insulated cabin with a seating arrangement that converts to a queen-size bed and two bunk beds. It has a body length of 3.8 metres (150 inches) and an overall length of 5 metres (195 inches), while the inside cabin width measures 1.5 metres (60 inches).

Aircraft-grade aluminium is used throughout the body and the interior cabin is furnished with hardwood, and there are several 110-volt electrical outlets scattered throughout the trailer.

The Boulder has a starting price of $67,000 (£55,500) and there are several options you can choose on top of the standard build, like a 2,000-watt air conditioning unit for $3,250 (£2,700), a propane heater for $2,000 (£1,660), and a water tank with hand pump for $650 (£540).

Development is still in progress, but Colorado Teardrops already finished its first prototype for The Boulder and has two more EV-specific models in the pipeline: The Golden, which will be a 5.2 metre (17-foot) luxury travel trailer with a 125-kWh battery pack, and The Denver, an 8.2 metre (27-foot) long trailer with 200 kWh of supplemental power.
