About Lightship
Lightship builds the first fully electric travel trailer engineered from the ground up to inspire a new form of travel. The AE.1 carries a 77 kWh pack standard and propels itself, offsetting its own aerodynamic drag to improve towing efficiency, range, and safety. It raises its roof at camp, runs off-grid on solar, and is assembled in Broomfield, Colorado with roughly 80% of component value sourced in the US.
In May 2026 we launched PowerSled, the same battery and propulsion-assist architecture in a commercial platform: up to 240 kWh usable, 38 kW of continuous 240VAC output, 8,500 lbs of payload, under 12,000 lbs GVWR. It supplements diesel generators and inert cargo trailers for commercial and defense uses, and serves as a platform for other vehicle manufacturers to build on.
Two businesses, one foundation. A consumer brand people fall in love with, and a commercial platform that turns the same engineering into fleet revenue. We are scaling production to match demand and we sell direct to our customers.
