Xiao Ang, the first product manager at Anker Innovations, founded "Squirrel Power" to focus on the smart electric RV overseas market. The startup recently completed a Series A round raising over 200 million RMB, with cumulative funding exceeding 300 million RMB.
- Market Insight: Identified a shift in the core North American RV demographic towards hardcore outdoor enthusiasts aged 30-45, driven by the need for off-grid power to support remote work.
- Product Features: The first smart extended-range trailer, Evotrex-PG5, uses a 75-liter fuel tank + 43kWh battery setup, providing a total of 270kWh of usable power. It supports an off-grid lifestyle for a family of four for over a week.
- Energy Expansion: It mitigates range anxiety when towing with electric pickups and can act as a mobile power platform to backfeed residential homes when stationary.
- Business Performance: Priced from $120,000, top-tier configurations account for 90% of pre-orders. The team includes R&D talent from Geely, Huawei, and Tesla.
