By the way, with five adults that Tesla accelerated much faster than any car I've ever owned. It makes over 300 HP. Just mentioning this to show that even a tenth that much battery capacity could power many RV devices at once (granted for shorter time). Also, the car had already been driven about 136 miles before i rode in it. I was impressed except for cost.
Yeah I've ridden in an S85--very impressive. The P85D must be a truly scary ride!

I've wondered what it would take to have a fully EV RV. There would be plenty of room for batteries under the coach but I'd guess range and recharge time would be the real issues there: All that battery would take a lot more than the 50A supply at the campground can supply (I can fully charge my Focus on the 50A supply at a campground in about 3.5 hours).
