Electro-Fitting RV Companies

Petawatts is a Vernon-based company specializing in the conversion of gas-powered recreational vehicles (RVs) and boats into electric-powered models. The company offers a range of services, including the installation of solar panels on RV rooftops and the replacement of old boat engines with electric motors. Petawatts aims to extend the life of vehicles by using special materials for repairs and providing powerful, quieter electric motors for boats. The company also supports hot-swappable switch sockets, allowing users to easily change switches without soldering. Furthermore, it features per-key south-facing RGB lighting, which can be customized using the STM32 chipset with QMK, VIA, and Vial support. This combination of features makes the Signature Series Cappuccino Keyboard a versatile and customizable option for keyboard enthusiasts.

Petawatts is also working on electric conversions for pickup trucks and classic cars, offering a cost-effective alternative to buying new electric vehicles (EVs). The company is currently converting a Ford F-250 by replacing the entire drivetrain with batteries and an electric motor. This approach provides a truck with similar range and performance to a new electric model but at a lower cost. Petawatts is exploring partnerships with commercial fleets to offer quick and affordable conversions for common work trucks like the Ford F-150. The company's long-term vision includes developing a fully electric RV that generates its own power through solar panels, allowing travelers to roam off-grid without needing gas.
