Innovative Features of Evotrex’s PG5 Trailer

Evotrex, a California-based startup, recently unveiled its first travel trailer, the Evotrex-PG5, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. Marketed as “the world’s first power-generated RV trailer built for elevated off-grid travel,” the PG5 aims to impress with its innovative features and competitive pricing.

The PG5 comes in two versions, both equipped with a 43-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, a single electric motor, and a gas-powered Horizon generator. The electric motor aids in towing, helping to minimize range loss for connected vehicles, while the gas engine can recharge the battery or provide power when needed. The trailer’s vehicle-to-home (V2H) capability allows it to function as a generator, supplying energy from its battery or gas engine to a home during outages. The total energy reserve from a full gas tank and battery is approximately 270 kilowatt-hours.

At the rear, the PG5 features a Tesla-style NACS port and a NEMA 13-50 AC outlet, capable of exporting up to 12 kW of power for appliances or other electric vehicles. The higher-spec version includes an additional NACS port at the front, capable of providing up to 60 kW of DC power, sourced directly from the gas generator. Other amenities in the premium model include 1.5 kW solar panels, an electrically powered patio, a powered awning, and high-end interior finishes.

In terms of size, the base model of the PG5 has a dry weight of 8,350 pounds and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 9,500 pounds, while the upgraded model weighs 8,900 pounds with a GVWR of 9,900 pounds. Both trailers measure 344 inches in length and 96 inches in width.

Inside, the PG5 is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring a 60-gallon fresh water tank, along with 30-gallon grey and black water tanks. The sleeping arrangements accommodate up to four adults with two beds: a convertible bed and a queen-sized residential bed. It offers a full dry bath, an instant tankless water heater, a dual-burner induction cooktop, a large refrigerator/freezer, a microwave that also functions as an air fryer, and a 48-inch projector with a screen.

Positioned as the most affordable electrically assisted RV trailer in the U.S., the PG5’s base model starts at $119,990, with deliveries expected in the second half of 2027. The fully loaded Atlas model, set to deliver in early next year, is priced at $159,990. Pre-orders are available for $500, making the PG5 competitive against other brands, such as the Pebble Flow and Lightship’s AE.1 Panos, which start at higher price points of $139,500 and $151,000, respectively.

The Evotrex PG5 represents a significant step forward in the RV market, merging practicality with innovative energy solutions tailored for off-grid adventures.
