Grounded, a Detroit-based electric RV startup, is set to revolutionize the way people explore the outdoors with their new product launch. The company, established in 2022 by former Tesla and SpaceX engineers, aims to create amazing products that enable people to explore more without harming the planet.
Their latest offering, the Grounded G1, is the world’s first fully customizable smart electric RV, based on the Ford E-Transit platform. The G1 features up to 108 miles of range, a comfortable ride and handling, and a spacious interior that includes a queen-size bed, bench seating with a pull-out table, a kitchen with a fridge/freezer, sink, and induction stove, garage and overhead storage, an outdoor shower, and a dry-flush toilet.
Built-in 650-Watt solar power capacity is used to power appliances and augments the powertrain charge. The G1 is fully customizable with “near-infinite” layouts, and through the Grounded app, users can control appliances, lighting, temperature, view charging, water use, fuel, and other data, as well as receive diagnostics.
What sets Grounded apart is their subscription model, making the electric RV affordable for everyone. The G1 is offered at a $2,300-per-month subscription, with deliveries expected to begin in April. For those who prefer to own it outright, the purchase price is $125,000 and is available to reserve for a $100 refundable deposit on Grounded’s website.
Grounded’s CEO and former Senior Software Engineer at SpaceX, Sam Shapiro, said the Grounded G1 gives people the freedom and self-reliance to live, work, and explore anywhere, sustainably integrated with nature. The company is leading the charge in fully electric, zero-emission customizable RVs, providing a solution to the growing demand for outdoor electric RVs.
Grounded was invited to work out of Ford and Newlab’s “Accessible Streets Studio” in Detroit, designed for testing new electric vehicles for a cleaner tomorrow. The company is committed to creating amazing products that enable people to explore the great outdoors in style, with zero emissions and at a reasonable price.
