A lesser-known part of Lightship’s early days was that our co-founder Ben Parker originally started with the idea of electrifying food trucks in the Bay Area. Shortly after meeting our other co-founder, Toby Kraus, and Ben saw a greater opportunity—to build America’s first all-electric RV company. Fast forward, and our journey came full circle just last month when we hosted an event for local Lightship reservation holders at our new depot in South San Francisco. We brought in the amazing Señor Sisig food truck, which was the first food truck Ben worked on electrifying—and this time, we powered it with the L1!

A lesser-known story from Lightship's infancy is that I first began working on the business with the idea to electrify all of the food trucks in the SF Bay Area. It wasn't long before Toby Kraus and I realized that the most pressing need and opportunity was to build Lightship as America's first all-electric RV manufacturer, but our early roots in food trucks came full circle a month ago as we hosted an event for local Lightship reservation holders at our new depot in Oyster Point (South SF) and fed our guests from the same great Señor Sisig truck I had first worked on electrifying. Bonus: we used L1's capability as a giant power station to power the truck! https://lnkd.in/gMbMpi4A #startup #storytime #electricrv #rv #foodtruck #allelectric
