Except it's not a motorhome...it's not even an RV, just a bare vehicle they'll be offering.
This is designed and marketed for things like bookmobiles and mobile clinics, where you go maybe into the next county once a week or something similar. Perhaps some might get used for eco-conscious food trucks.
It's no big surprise at all that limited range speciality vehicles are being electrified. I wouldn't say it's a game changer either. I suspect motorhomes will be among the last vehicles to become fully electric (if that even is likely to happen in the near term, which I have significant doubts about) because developing the charging infrastructure at campgrounds to support that isn't going to happen anytime soon. Increasing the electric system capacity in a campground by an order of magnitude is not a simple or inexpensive task, and campgrounds aren't generally known as a business that has a large profit margin to cover such expenses. Unlike many other vehicles, I don't think it's really practical to generally charge a motorhome at places other than a campground since you need to be there with the vehicle for it to be useful as living quarters.
