The Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition is a high-end, self-sustaining trailer ideal for those looking to go off-grid, offering an alternative for those preparing for apocalyptic scenarios.

This model, which accommodates up to four people and includes a bathroom, is the production version of the company’s L1 prototype. Only 50 Cosmos units will be produced, with the first deliveries expected in the summer of 2025.

The AE.1 is equipped with a 77 kWh battery that powers both the electric traction motor, aiding in towing, and the internal systems, such as the kitchen and HVAC.

The AE.1’s key innovation lies in its ability to reduce the burden on the towing vehicle, with the electric motor not only propelling the trailer but also assisting in braking, easing the strain on the tow vehicle’s braking system.

Its lithium iron phosphate battery provides energy for appliances like a dishwasher, oven, and refrigerator, making the trailer functional for long off-grid journeys. Initial production will be limited to 50 Cosmos units, with other variants, such as Atmos, Panos, and Terros, at lower price points, set to launch from 2025 onwards.

While the Cosmos version is priced at $250,000, Lightship plans to produce the Atmos, Panos, and Terros versions starting at $125,000. Production of the Atmos model will begin in late 2025, while the Panos and Terros versions are slated for release in 2026.

The AE.1 stands out as a luxurious and advanced trailer option for those seeking an off-grid experience, particularly in apocalyptic scenarios.
