We boondock. A lot. We could do without electric much easier than we could do without propane.
Same here, but they are using solar capture without propane
Great. As long as the sun is out. Or you are not parked in the shade.
I think they would have got some not so sunny days in those 20,000kilometres around Australia
Great. When you know for sure let us know. Also, please explain how you get enough charge to keep an all electric caravan fully functional with several days of those "not so sunny days." Not trying to be a smart a$$, but I would really like to know how someone expects this to work under real world conditions. It would also be enlightening to know if heating the caravan while camping in the winter impacts the utility of the unit. While boondocking in our RV, we often camp in below freezing temperatures. Our propane furnace keeps us warm, but we have to be careful or the furnace blower will drain our batteries.
Well they did for 20,000 km best to get in touch with them. When they release details it will be more intwresting how they did it. Seeing we get pretty cold winter days without sun in Australia
OK, you win. In Australia they can keep a 100% EV fully functioning without a source of electricity to keep the batteries charged. (This is, of course, assuming that they didn't plug in to the electric grid. That the EV was fully self contained. You ARE saying that they did the 20,000km without ever plugging in, aren't you? The whole, entire, point of my part of this discussion is boondocking, where you have no electric grid to plug into.)
