Honda's Base Station trailer aims to redefine EV camping with a lightweight, solar-powered camper
Honda has unveiled the Base Station prototype—a sub-1,400-pound, modular camping trailer designed for EVs, featuring a pop-up roof, expandable lithium battery charged by solar panels, optional outdoor kitchen, AC, shower, and a queen-size bed with an optional bunk. Its bright interior comes from five large windows and a flip-open tailgate that creates an indoor-outdoor campsite, and Honda says it will be sold through its dealerships at a competitive price within the small-trailer market (roughly $17,000–$50,000), though official pricing hasn’t been published. The design is inspired by Honda’s upcoming 0 Series and aims to make camping more accessible for American families.
