Cars are going all-electric, so why not tiny homes? That was the thinking of Dan Dobrowolski, founder of tiny-home builder Escape, a company that to date has created a Neutra-inspired prefab, portable sheds, and even a tiny home village in Florida that saw a surge in demand during the pandemic. Now, the company is taking its designs fully electric. "It’s the way forward," says Dobrowolski. "This is more important than ever."

With sustainability top of mind, Dobrowolski and his team devised eESCAPE, a new line of battery-powered tiny homes on wheels that can be charged with a standard wall socket, a solar setup, or an electric truck or car. The line’s three models include the eOne, the eVista, and the eVistaXL, which start at $43,600 and range in size from 200 to 350 square feet of living space.
