Release date- 12052022 - ELKHART, Ind. - THOR Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO) announced the release of the company's North American Motorized Electric RV Study, which explores consumer expectations, key purchase motivators and electric infrastructure development needs.

The featured information was collected from current and potential electric vehicle owners who are interested in purchasing a motorized electric RV, who have had some level of RV experience within the last 10 years.
