Three months after unveiling the production-intent design of its flagship Flow travel trailer, Pebble has commenced production in California. With Pebble Flow production now underway, the startup says it remains on track to begin initial deliveries very soon.
If you weren’t aware of Pebble until now, where have you been? Just kidding, but the young electric recreational vehicle specialist has hit another milestone en route to delivering its flagship product which could very well shake up a stale RV and travel trailer industry.
To do so, Pebble has set out to bring more advanced technologies to the world of RVs with the Flow, which was officially unveiled to the public in the fall of 2023 alongside pre-orders that started at $109,000. We learned then that the Flow trailer is 300% more aerodynamic than a conventional travel trailer, reducing drag and extending range.
Uniquely, the Flow comes equipped with its own dual-motor active propulsion assist system, which helps it bear the brunt of its load while maximizing range and efficiency regardless of whether an ICE or electric vehicle is towing it.

This past January, just over 14 months after initially unveiling the pre-production version of the Flow, Pebble unveiled a production-intent design featuring some welcomed upgrades in its space utilization and some genuinely remarkable functions—all controllable from a single tablet.
In its latest milestone, production of an exclusive Founders Edition of the Pebble Flow is now underway with deliveries to follow.

Pebble production underway, deliveries begin Spring 2025
Pebble shared details of its production milestone this morning. Its Founders Edition (FE) Flow electric travel trailers are being assembled at its 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Fremont, California. The startup relayed it remains on schedule to commence initial customer deliveries this spring to those who pre-ordered and configured an FE Flow.
With production now underway, those customers will soon be invited to finalize their travel trailer purchase in the 8-12 weeks before delivery. Pebble founder and CEO Bingrui Yang spoke about the company reaching production and what it means for the entire recreational vehicle industry as a whole:
This marks a major step forward – not just for Pebble, but for our customers who have been looking for a seamless, intuitive way to experience the outdoors. As we are now underway with production, the Pebble Flow is moving from vision to reality. RVing has long been full of hassles – stressful towing, difficult parking, and maneuvering. We built the Pebble Flow to remove those barriers and look forward to seeing our first customers take the Pebble Flow on the road soon.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Pebble Flow yet, we highly recommend you do that. Some of its integrated technology is not only innovative but also quite exciting to see. Features like Magic Hitch, a fully automated hitching mechanism, and active tow assist are merely two perks not present in current travel trailers that future customers can take advantage of.
The production version of the Pebble Flow features a 45 kWh battery pack and 1.1 kW solar array that help power its electric motors and electronics. This enables its inhabitants to live off the grid for up to seven days at a time.
The Pebble Flow is currently available to order and customize with a fully refundable $500 deposit. Some customers may be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $10,000. The Standard Flow without the motors starts at $109,500 and goes up from there. See more in Pebble’s video below:

China just laid out a plan to roll out over 100,000 ultra-fast EV charging stations by 2027 – and they’ll all be open to the public.
The National Development and Reform Commission’s (NDRC) joint notice, issued on Monday, asks local authorities to put together construction plans for highway service areas and prioritize the ones that see 40% or more usage during holiday travel rushes.
The NDRC notes that China’s ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure needs upgrading as more 800V EVs hit the road. Those high-voltage platforms can handle super-fast charging in as little as 10 to 30 minutes, but only if the charging hardware is up to speed.
China had 31.4 million EVs on the road at the end of 2024 – nearly 9% of the country’s total vehicle fleet. But charging access is still catching up. As of May 2025, there were 14.4 million charging points, or roughly 1 for every 2.2 EVs.

To keep the grid running smoothly, China wants new chargers to be smart, with dynamic pricing to incentivize off-peak charging and solar and storage to power the charging stations.
To make the business side work, the government is pushing for 10-year leases for charging station operators, and it’s backing the buildout with local government bonds.
The NDRC emphasized that the DC fast chargers built will be open to the public. This is a big deal because a lot of fast chargers in China aren’t. For example, BYD’s new megawatt chargers aren’t open to third-party vehicles.
As of September 2024, China had expanded its charging infrastructure to 11.4 million EV chargers, but only 3.3 million were public.

Federal prosecutors have charged two men in connection with a sprawling cryptocurrency investment scheme that defrauded victims out of more than $650 million.
The indictment, unsealed in the District of Puerto Rico, accuses Michael Shannon Sims, 48, of Georgia and Florida, and Juan Carlos Reynoso, 57, of New Jersey and Florida, of operating and promoting OmegaPro, an international crypto multi-level marketing scheme that promised investors 300% returns over 16 months through foreign exchange trading.
“This case exposes the ruthless reality of modern financial crime,” said the Internal Revenue Service’s Chief of Criminal Investigations Guy Ficco. “OmegaPro promised financial freedom but delivered financial ruin.”
From 2019 to 2023, Sims, Reynoso and their co-conspirators allegedly lured thousands of victims worldwide to purchase “investment packages” using cryptocurrency, falsely claiming the funds would be safely managed by elite forex traders, the Department of Justice said.
Prosecutors said the pair flaunted their wealth through social media and extravagant events — including projecting the OmegaPro logo onto the Burj Khalifa, Dubai’s tallest building — to convince investors the operation was legitimate.
A video posted to the company’s LinkedIn page shows guests in evening attire posing for photos and watching the spectacle in Dubai.

In reality, authorities allege, OmegaPro was a pyramid-style fraud.
When the company later claimed it had suffered a hack, the defendants told victims they had transferred their funds to a new platform called Broker Group, the DOJ said. Users were never able to withdraw their money from either platform.
The two men face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
The Justice Department, FBI, IRS-Criminal Investigation, and Homeland Security Investigations led the multiagency investigation, with help from international partners.
