For campers.. 6 places around the world to rent electric caravans

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Road trip and camping experiences offered by caravans are gaining traction. In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in these vehicles, usually equipped with sleeping quarters and a kitchen.

Their popularity grew with immersive travel footage posted on social media.
Besides, people considered these vehicles as a way to travel, reducing health risks during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, these large vehicles pose a problem for nature-loving travelers as they consume large amounts of fuel and emit carbon in light of the dire climate crisis.

Just as electric vehicles have revolutionized the automobile industry, the era of electric caravans has begun.

“We’re already starting to see some momentum in the design and construction of electric caravans from the RV industry,” said RV.com/RV Digital Editor Craig Baker.

Consumer demand for electric caravans is largely driven by the younger generation, who are “looking for a more eco-friendly way to go camping”.

Indeed, high and volatile global fuel prices can lead to significant costs when undertaking any road trip, especially to European destinations.

Instead of filling up the tank, recharging an electric caravan can result in significant savings when it comes to travel costs.

Currently, Quebec is one of the few places in North America where electric camping caravans are available.

Europe is still higher, but the volume is still lower.

Here are 6 leading companies around the world that you can hire electric caravans with:
