The Pebble Flow, an innovative all-electric RV, has earned a spot on Time’s Best Inventions list for 2024. This inclusion in Time’s list highlights the vehicle’s groundbreaking features and their potential impact on the future of outdoor recreation according to a press release.
The Pebble Flow’s design centers around an intelligent automation system that enables semi-autonomous capabilities. Its aerodynamic structure, featuring an aluminum space frame, significantly reduces drag, extending the towing vehicle’s range. A Dual-motor Active Tow Assist System supports towing by sharing the load, maximizing range and efficiency for both electric and gas-powered towing vehicles.
Innovative features simplify RV travel, including the “Magic Hitch” function, which uses cameras and vision technology to automatically connect the trailer to the tow vehicle. The “InstaCamp” feature transforms campsite setup into a one-touch process, automatically deploying or retracting the awning, stairs, lights, and auto-leveling stabilizers.
The Pebble Flow’s interior offers modern amenities designed for comfort and convenience, including an indoor/outdoor induction cooktop, a full-size refrigerator, and bathroom walls with adjustable opacity. The interior design, inspired by modern Scandinavian aesthetics, creates an upscale hotel-like experience. A retractable Murphy bed allows for quick transitions from leisure to work time.
A robust EV battery and a 1 kW solar system power the RV, enabling extended off-grid living for up to 7 days without relying on traditional fuel sources. This aligns with the growing trend of eco-friendly travel and sustainable tourism.
Bingrui Yang, CEO and founder of Pebble, stated, “At Pebble, we’re focused on using advanced technology to enhance the RV experience, making it easier and more enjoyable for everyone. Time’s recognition of the Pebble Flow is a testament to our vision of setting a new standard for RV travel — one that combines comfort with ease of use and empowers travelers to explore farther, more sustainably.”
Stefan Solyom, CTO of Pebble, emphasized the ease of use and automation: “So many people will never embark on an RV trip simply because they are intimidated by how to do it. The combination of advanced modern EV features and the Pebble app makes RVing easier than ever, whether you’re a seasoned RVer or just starting out.”
The Pebble Flow starts at $109,000, with a $125,000 option that includes the most advanced automated features. Pre-orders are available with a $500 fully refundable deposit, and the first deliveries are expected by the end of 2024.
As the RV industry evolves, innovations like the Pebble Flow are paving the way for a more technologically advanced and environmentally friendly future of travel. The recognition from Time magazine underscores the growing importance of sustainable solutions in the outdoor recreation sector
