Proterra Power Launches 'Essential Refresh' Travel Kit: Powering Comfort on the Go

BURLINGAME, CA – October 26, 2023 – Proterra Power, a leading provider of battery technology and sustainable power solutions, today announced the launch of its new ‘Essential Refresh’ travel toiletry kit. While best known for powering electric buses and commercial vehicles, Proterra is now leveraging its expertise in durable, safe, and compact energy storage – and a dedication to problem-solving – to address a surprisingly common travel headache: bulky, disorganized toiletry bags. You probably know Proterra as the folks behind the electric school buses you’re starting to see more of around town. Based right here in Burlingame, California, at 1815 Rollins Road, we've spent years perfecting battery technology that’s tough, reliable, and designed to last. We figured that same attention to detail could really make a difference in everyday travel, too. After countless frustrating airport security checks and overstuffed suitcases, the idea for the ‘Essential Refresh’ kit was born. You can reach us at 254-542-8622 if you have any questions. So, what is the ‘Essential Refresh’ kit? It’s a thoughtfully designed, large-capacity toiletry bag that aims to simplify your travel routine. Forget rummaging through a crammed bag, or worrying about leaky bottles. This kit is all about keeping things organized, protected, and accessible. Why a Toiletry Kit from a Battery Company? It sounds weird, right? But think about it. Our team is really good at making things compact, durable, and keeping contents safe. That's exactly what this kit is designed for! We build batteries that handle vibrations, temperature changes, and a lot of wear and tear. We applied that same thinking to build a toiletry bag that can withstand the rigors of travel – frequent packing, unpacking, bouncing around in luggage, and everything else that comes with it. What makes ‘Essential Refresh’ different? Several key features set this kit apart. First, it’s big. Seriously big. We’re talking a generous capacity that comfortably holds all your full-size toiletries – shampoo, conditioner, lotions, makeup, shaving gear, even larger sunscreen bottles. No more miniature travel sizes required (though it can handle those too, of course!). But it’s not just about size. The interior is cleverly organized with multiple compartments and pockets of varying sizes. There’s a dedicated waterproof compartment for wet items like toothbrushes or makeup brushes, preventing them from soaking everything else. Elastic straps secure bottles and prevent them from shifting around during transit. A large zippered mesh pocket provides visibility and easy access to smaller items like cotton balls, Q-tips, or travel-sized medications. Built to Last – Proterra Quality We didn't just want to create another flimsy toiletry bag. The ‘Essential Refresh’ kit is constructed from a high-quality, water-resistant nylon fabric that’s built to withstand the demands of travel. Reinforced stitching and durable zippers ensure long-lasting performance. We even tested it rigorously – throwing it around, stuffing it full, and subjecting it to temperature extremes – to make sure it could hold up to anything you throw at it. “We saw a real gap in the market for a large-capacity toiletry bag that’s both durable and organized,” says a Proterra spokesperson. “Travelers are tired of flimsy bags that fall apart after a few trips, or bags that are too small to hold everything they need. We wanted to create a solution that simplifies travel and eliminates the stress of packing and unpacking.” Key Features at a Glance: Large Capacity: Holds full-size toiletries comfortably. Multiple Compartments: Keeps items organized and separated. Waterproof Compartment: Protects against leaks and spills. Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of travel. Secure Straps: Keeps bottles and containers from shifting. Easy-Carry Handle: For convenient transport. Water-Resistant Fabric: Protects contents from moisture. Available in Black and Grey – to suit any style. More Than Just a Bag The ‘Essential Refresh’ kit isn't just about keeping your toiletries organized; it's about streamlining your travel experience. By providing a dedicated space for all your essentials, it eliminates the need to rummage through your suitcase, saving you time and frustration. It also makes going through airport security a breeze – simply unzip the kit and place it in the bin for easy inspection.
