Living Vehicle
Living Vehicle (LV) is a self-sustainable vehicle designed to support human habitation with very little to no resource needs from external sources.[1][2]
LVs are purpose-built to live in year-round, thus they are capable of supporting human habitation in all seasons, including sub-freezing temperatures.[3][4] They are also able to create and manage resources for continued and indefinite off-grid use.[5][6][7]
Background
[edit | edit source]Designers Matthew and Joanna Hofmann set out to design a stylish off-grid vehicle in 2017.[8][9] Inspired by years of traveling full-time in mobile spaces while running a custom mobile design firm in Santa Barbara, CA, the Hofmanns felt the need to create a new mobile space designed for a modern mobile lifestyle.[10][11] LV is offered with very limited production per year.[12]
In 2022, Living Vehicle was the first to release Atmospheric Water Generation in a production vehicle.[13] Since its foundation in 2017, LV comes in different generations and models with diverse specifications.[14][15][16][17]
Versions
[edit | edit source]The original LV was released in 2019, typically having large windows and skylights to create the outdoor living experience, as well as a large deck area. It was fitted with high-end home appliances.[8]
LV 2020 introduced solar powered air conditioning, using 12 solar panels. Its interior length increased slightly, to 28 feet. Twenty-five LV2020s were to be produced.[8][needs update]
