Evotrex launches off-grid calculator for RVs and campers
Original source: markets.businessinsider.com

In Brief

California-based Evotrex has introduced an online tool that calculates energy and water consumption for RVs. The calculator factors in real weather, appliance use, and traveler habits to model extended off-grid trips.

California-based company Evotrex has launched a proprietary off-grid calculator for RVs and caravans. The tool models energy and water consumption under real-world conditions, not idealized ones. It takes into account actual weather conditions, appliance usage, and traveler habits.

Designed to simulate scenarios for long trips without hookups, the calculator is integrated with the Evotrex-PG5 trailer system, which generates electricity. The tool helps RV campers plan extended adventures with confidence.
