Pebble, a California-based startup founded by Bingrui Yang, has opened a new headquarters and production facility in California in preparation for bringing its innovative electric RV called the Flow to market. The company aims to reinvent the RVing experience by making it more sustainable and enjoyable. Pebble emerged from stealth mode in the summer of 2023 with $13.6 million in seed funding to help bring the Flow into production.
The Flow electric RV, unveiled last October, boasts a design that is 300% more aerodynamic than traditional travel trailers, resulting in reduced drag and extended range. It also features a dual-motor active propulsion assist system to help improve range and efficiency, regardless of whether it is being towed by an internal combustion engine or an electric vehicle. Pre-orders for the Flow started at $109,000, with Pebble planning to begin production before the end of 2024.
In an effort to ramp up production of the Flow electric RV, Pebble has opened a new 60,000-square-foot headquarters in Fremont, CA. The facility will house the company’s R&D department and serve as the production site for the Flow. Pebble plans to hire up to 100 new high-tech roles across engineering, production, operations, and quality assurance over the next year. Greg Zanghi, Pebble’s head of manufacturing and service operations, stated that the new facility is a significant step towards bringing the Pebble Flow to market.
The new headquarters and production facility in Fremont, CA will help Pebble attract top talent and execute its vision of revolutionizing the RV industry. The company is excited to establish roots in the Bay Area, a region known for advanced technology development. The Pebble Flow is available for pre-order, with an estimated start of production before the end of 2024. Priced at $125,000 with the company’s proprietary “Magic Pack” dual-motor drivetrain, the Flow aims to offer a unique and sustainable RVing experience for customers.
