Detroit-based startup Grounded RV has introduced the G3, which it is calling its most advanced and comfort-driven camper van yet. The interior has been completely re-imagined, with wood cabinetry replaced by sleek aluminum frames and 100 percent recycled, tree-free materials. The wall panels and furniture modules are also upgraded and a motorized lift bed has been added for convenience. Furthermore, a new insulated rear door improves energy efficiency without blocking the view.
Built on the Chevrolet BrightDrop Zevo 400 or 600 chassis, the G3 camper van is designed to work in all seasons during the year. It provides a 286-mile combined range on a single charge, making it perfect for long-distance camping trips. The all-wheel drive, 11,000 lb GVWR, and safety features like Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert make it suitable for rugged conditions. With improved insulation and winterization, it can operate in temperatures as low as 0 degree Fahrenheit.
Its reinforced aluminum substructure supports a full suite of onboard systems, including rooftop HVAC, 1000W of solar, and Starlink internet. There are up to 20kWh of modular, self-heating LiFePO batteries to power the interior systems that can be recharged through rooftop solar, shore power, or a newly developed 1,400W vehicle-to-house charging system.
Once inside, you find an industrial-grade theme in materials visible through cabinetry framed with aluminum and finished with 100 percent recycled materials in customizable colors and textures. The wood-free cabinet system is more durable and low-maintenance than traditional RV interiors.
The redesigned rear of the van replaces the roll-up garage door with a full-width swing-out entry to improve thermal efficiency. This not only increases interior standing height but also creates functional mount points for storage. There are large windows throughout the van, including one in the rear door to let in natural light and panoramic views.

All onboard systems can be managed through the companion mobile app. The user can remotely access power usage, tank levels, appliance controls, and system diagnostics over LTE or Bluetooth. One of the stand-out features of the G3 is the multi-position bed platform, which can be raised or lowered at the touch of a button. In its lower position, it supports a spacious sleeping arrangement that can expand to California King Size. When not in use, the bed lifts out of the way to create a comfortable lounge or workspace below.
There is also a new outdoor patio that includes a pull-out drawer with a built-in counter for cooking and dining, and compartments to store cooking tools, and outdoor chairs. The company is also working on rear seating for driving with additional passengers in the rear, which is expected to be available for the G3 in the Fall of 2025.
The G3 electric camper van can be customized in three themes, with prices starting from $165,000 for the G3 Form model.
