Overland
Camps, trails and camper builds for hybrid and EV owners — with your pack, solar and water planned before you leave pavement.
Trail Map
Live satellite imagery on real elevation data — drag to orbit, right-drag to tilt. Coordinates are published public-land points — check agency closures and fire restrictions before you go.
Set your bank, solar and crew. The computer tells you how long you can stay — and what runs out first.
Short leash — plan a resupply or charge stop before you commit.
Graded dirt, any hybrid, dry weather
Ruts + washboard, all-terrain tires advised
High clearance, recovery gear, two vehicles
Technical terrain, armour + winch, spotter required
Every waypoint in the network carries one of these ratings, set by member reports and confirmed by certified shops. Never attempt a rating above your vehicle's build sheet.
Overland Routes
Build plans for the vehicles people actually own, real public destinations, the shops that outfit them, and the field discipline that keeps an electrified vehicle alive a long way from pavement.
Hatch headroom extension + flat sleep deck
Bolt-on aluminium hoop frame extending the hatch opening upward by 10–14 in with a sealed canvas bellows, plus a flat platform over folded rear seats. Sleeps one at 74 in, two at 62 in width.
1.0–1.5 kWh second-life module bank under the deck, 400 W inverter
Never block the pack intake vent behind the rear seat — reroute the duct through the new frame, not around it.
Full mid-size camper conversion
Side-opening galley drawer, 6 ft 2 in sleep platform, roof-rack solar, internal ceiling channel for cabling. Retains all five seat mounts for legal reversibility.
2–4 kWh bank, 1,500 W inverter, 200 W roof solar
Weight over the rear axle changes regen braking feel — load heavy items forward of the wheel arch.
True off-road expedition spec
Underbody skid extension for the pack edges, 33–35 in all-terrain package, bed rack with rooftop tent, gear tunnel recovery kit, air compressor feed off the onboard supply.
Vehicle pack + 120 V bed outlets; portable 400 W folding panel for camp
Pack armour adds unsprung mass and drag — expect 15–25% range loss on knobby tires.
Job-site and basecamp hybrid
Bed cap sleeping box, slide-out kitchen, pass-through power distribution from the onboard generator outlets. Doubles as a work truck Monday morning.
Onboard export power (2.4–9.6 kW depending on trim)
Export power draws down the traction pack — set a reserve floor before you sleep.
Light trail + dispersed camping
Roof platform, 6 ft rear platform with drawer, recovery boards, all-terrain tires within factory diameter to keep hybrid system calibration intact.
1 kWh bank, 12 V fridge, 100 W panel
Tire diameter changes affect regen mapping — stay within 3% of stock rolling radius.
Weatherproof camp mode build
Trunk-lip extension frame, window screens, condensation-managed mattress with airflow channel, gear hammock over the front seats.
Camp mode off the vehicle pack — roughly 1% per hour, so plan a charge window
Camp mode keeps climate running all night. Set a 20% arrival reserve before you settle in.
Sample waypoint set, distances shown from a Southern California anchor. Member submissions open with the pilot.
Set your bank, solar and crew. The computer tells you how long you can stay — and what runs out first.
Short leash — plan a resupply or charge stop before you commit.

- Fire station / ranger station
Nearest staffed response point, with the dirt-road approach marked for a tender truck.
- Hospital & urgent care
Sorted by drive time from your pin, not straight-line distance.
- Sheriff / highway patrol post
Useful when a Hub Certified vehicle needs verification instead of a tow.
- Network tow & recovery
One tap to dispatch, with your exact coordinates and pack state attached.
- DC fast & Level 2 charging
Connector type, stall count and last confirmed working report.
- Gas stations
Still the lifeline for a hybrid on a long remote leg; 24-hour sites flagged.
- Propane & water fill
Camp consumables, with hours, because most close early in small towns.
- Certified shops & mobile techs
Who can actually touch high voltage within reach of where you are.
- Food, groceries & coffee
Open-now filter, plus the last real grocery store before the pavement ends.
- Restrooms, showers & laundry
Truck stops, campgrounds and rec centers, rated by members.
- Hardware & auto parts
For the fix that needs a bolt, not a diagnostic.
- Lodging & established campgrounds
For the night the weather makes the decision for you.
- Overlooks & dark-sky sites
Marked with the best arrival hour for light or stars.
- Hot springs & swimming holes
Access legality noted, because half the published ones are on private land.
- Roadside oddities & historic markers
The reason the long way is the better way.
- Member-submitted spots
Anyone can add one; it goes live once two other members confirm it.
These layers stay on wherever you are, remote or not, so the map is useful on a Tuesday commute and on the third day of a dirt road. Emergency and energy layers stay cached on the device, so they still draw with no signal.
Radius meet-ups
Opt in and the app shows other members' public meet-up pins within your chosen radius — trailheads, charge stops, build days.
Consent-based location sharing
Sharing is per-event and expires automatically. Nothing is broadcast by default, and precise location is never stored on the ledger.
Build days at certified shops
Host shops open a bay one weekend a month for member builds, with a certified tech on hand for anything near high voltage.
Trip boards
Post a route with dates and seats, or join one. Members with a verified passport and a founder seal surface first.
Range on dirt is not range on pavement
Sand, washboard and 15 psi tires can cut usable range 30–40%. Plan every remote leg at 60% of your rated range and turn around at half your usable charge, not half your trip.
Heat management is the whole game
A loaded pack climbing a grade at 104°F ambient will thermally limit. Climb early, rest the pack at the top for 10 minutes, and never park the pack in direct sun with no airflow.
Protect the pack floor before the paint
On a hybrid sedan, the underbody pack cooling intake and HV cabling are the vulnerable parts, not the bumper. One high-centering on a rock can end the trip.
Regen is your descent brake
Use maximum regen on long downgrades instead of friction brakes. It cools the brakes, recovers charge, and gives you a steadier line on loose surfaces.
Carry a 12 V lifeline
Most 'dead hybrid' events in the backcountry are a dead 12 V accessory battery, not the traction pack. Carry a lithium jump pack and know where your jump terminal is.
Know your reserve floor and defend it
Set a hard charge floor that covers your exit leg plus 20%. Camp climate, inverters and fridges quietly eat that reserve overnight.
Never disconnect or probe HV in the field
Orange cabling stays untouched, always. If you have an HV fault, stop, power down, and call network dispatch. There is no roadside HV repair worth your life.
If you're stuck: airing down beats digging
Drop to 15–18 psi before you shovel. Traction boards under the driven wheels, gentle throttle, straight wheels. Spinning a hybrid's e-motor in sand builds heat quickly.
Two-vehicle travel past the coverage line
Once there's no signal, redundancy is your rescue plan. File a route and an expected return time with a network contact before you leave pavement.
Leave it cleaner than you found it
Dispersed access stays open because users keep it open. Pack out everything, camp on durable surfaces, use existing tracks.
Heat-window deals
When a heat advisory covers your planned route, partner shops along it can publish same-day offers — coolant service, cabin-filter swaps, shaded parking — visible only to members actually driving through.
Desert prep bundles
Outfitters near the pavement's end list seasonal prep kits (water, boards, sunshade, 12 V jump pack) at member pricing, timed to the months that route is genuinely dangerous.
Health-while-driving
Smooth-driver streaks on remote legs — steady pack temps, no thermal limit events, defended reserve floor — convert to recycling credits at the end of the trip.
Last-store alerts
The app flags the final real grocery or water stop before a no-services stretch, with any active member discount attached. No fabricated offers — only verified partners appear.
Program design — partner offers publish only after verification, never as placeholders.
