Winnebago investing heavily in Electric powertrains

Either way on these last two items, doesnt that defeat the purpose of the "Clean" vehicle?
Both gas and diesel vehicle drives have all forms of clean burn tech built in, from catalytic converters and fuel injection to DEF systems, Portable generators and small non vehicular systems have none of those supposedly "clean features". They produce more emissions and have a higher pollutant level of exhaust than vehicles designed to minimize those items.
You would be eliminating a cleaned system to run electric, refueled by a dirty system.
And you are now adding the weight of an additional generator and the associated fuel to your "Clean" system taxing it even further.

I don’t know. The majority of the charging would be done from the grid. Either in the campground or the occasional fast charger I suppose. It wouldn’t make sense otherwise. Genny is a nice backup though. I think the main draw to the electric chassis would be performance, handling, convenience, low maintenance. Most people don’t buy EV’s for environmental reasons or because it’s in some way a “clean vehicle”.
