03 · Why nowAboard ARK
The generator is being regulated out. Nothing open replaces it.
Regulation
California's new small generators go zero-emission
Our 50 kW range extender is a large-engine class, outside the rule.
2028Demand
Buyers already use the chassis beyond RVs
ADUs, glamping, airfields, rental fleets.
