Remember USA does not equal even all of North America, let alone all of America. Canada is a wonderful American country. the USA is an American country. Mexico, Panama, Belize, El Salvador, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guyanas, and others I must apologize that my brain is glitching and I am forgetting them, are all American countries. Just because the residents of the United States of America proclaim ourselves “Americans” does not mean that all these other people are not also “American”. However I can understand Canada and British Columbia being proud to call the Edison Motors team their own.

So awesome to see the support for these trucks far exceed what you and Eric ever expected.

If you started running on-site training for qualified mechanics I'd spend my vacation weeks up in Terrace with ya'll!

Listening to you makes me feel like I'm watching an episode of Letterkenny and I'm not hating it.

He is always flexing on his fellow Canadians with his double plaid shirts!

The Edison story has it all. Diesels,logs,trucks,innovation, common sense, flannels , creating employment. Time to go offer my neighbour some cash for the old Dually flatdeck in his garage.😂

Awesome that your company is continuing to work on bringing truly efficient hybrid trucks to the market. it's something that is severely needed in my opinion. I will note something you probably didn't know regarding the claim of being the "North America's first hybrid truck". There used to be a company called Efficient Drivetrains, Inc. down here in the other CA. They prototyped several hybrid mid to large commercial trucks (though likely slightly lower classes) and did a few limited hybrid conversions of several fleet vehicles. I helped emission test one way back in 2015, it was pretty amazing. Seems though in 2018 they were acquired by Cummins. Which then seems to not have done much of anything with the technology. Very strange that.. Hoping the best for Edison Motors. keep growing and expanding and hopefully one day I'll see one of your trucks on the roads.

What you all are doing gives me hope for our future as Canadians! Keep up the good work!

great use for that building - givin it some life again!

You are doing so much more than I think you realize! Right now there are no Canadians making vehicles. Sure we have assembly plants, but they are all for companies based out of other countries. Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, Chrysler… they are all foreign companies. Edison is paving the way for Canadian design, manufacturing and entrepreneurship. Not just for BC. I’ve got tons of friends here in NS rooting for you! We are all so proud to see a good ol Canadian boy, especially from my generation making waves as a successful business owner, and influencer worth listening to. You have become a real spokesperson for the environment and economy as well as an inspiration for small business owners across the country ❤

Keep it up, Gents.

That's so cool about that factory! My dad used to have a 74 Hayes Clipper in Alberta that I am trying to find. It was dark blue with big flake in the paint with a baby blue roof and sleeper cap, white lightning bolts on the sides, aluminum body and frame, twin polar bears on the hood. Manual steering, Jacobson Rubber block in the rear and a piece of structural steel tubing for the front bumper It was last spotted in 1978 or so with "Blackies Transport" crudely painted on the door. This thing was a show truck when dad had it, and even if I can just find the body, I can build it up for him!

Keep up the good work, gents. Can't wait to see Edison trucks rolling down the road. And I'll love it when I can start getting conversions for the farm.

Way to go! Make sure you have an effective Quality Assurance system. It will save you millions. I think the logging industry is perfect for your product. Good luck.

Terrace is such a beautiful place. My father used to work up there and I visted during the summer before he moved back down to the island. I will 100% make the trip back up north B.C. to meet you all.

This is an excellent combination of achieving renewable energies and maximizing on improving efficiencies as well. You guys are offering a service the world will benefit from. Keep it up!

​@@Jessev741 I believe their trucks are better because it doesnt have to be full electric, and full electric vehicles such as the Tesla Semi do not do as well in cold climates (such as canada and northern countries) which makes it unreliable. Also, we have gas stations that supply diesel and gasoline across the north american continent, but electric chargers are still not implemented enough yet. The point im trying to make is the tech for full electric vehicles in my personal opinion isn't there yet (and their batteries create a ton of CO2 during production and lithium mining) so advancing to diesel-electric and similar forms of energy is just a better idea right now then trying to make electric vehicles work as reliably as diesel or gasoline vehicles.

Love what you guys are doing in tge vocational truck industry!

From our experience, it doesn’t make a difference, it might make a difference for initial views in the first 12 hours, because people are awake, but it doesn’t make a difference in the long run. Our videos often take a few days or even weeks or months before they gather speed. KZread pushes videos based off of retention, as well as other things, not because a larger portion of your key audience was awake when you released the video. When a video gets picked up in the algorithm, KZread does not care that 4 weeks earlier it was release at a peak time that day, 4 weeks ago.

Very exciting news. Finally, a permanent structure.

Terrace is a bold choice, i like the historic throwback homage. 7ish hrs remote out of a main hub, shipping costs are gonna be higher, add a day to transit time. I'm guessing we're serving the North American market and not shipping out thru PR. Added benefit is that shiney new CVSE site at Thornhill. It'll help revitalize that area, there's a fair bit of opportunity nearby for some sales opportunity, and i wonder if some of the early clients are nearby....

If they're getting stuff out of a shipping container (such as builk orders of axles, batteries, wheels, tires, windows, solar panels, and so on), there's a new logistics yard being built in the old sawmill yard south of the tracks, so drayage will be just a kilometer or two, and they have their own trucks for that. Getting steel delivered by rail should be cheap as well. They could also ship out new trucks on flat cars from there. And right behind the building is Terrace Steel Works, which does welding, fabricating, and machining, if they want to outsource some work. It's really not a bad location logistically, unless they're doing LTL. They just gotta watch out for the drug zombies that roam downtown now.

Give these guys a damm grant or 15 of them best idea to come from canadian brains in this sector

Wishing you the best of luck, I haven't quite pulled the trigger on one of the pickup kits, it's a tough question as I'm retired and it would only be a daily driver, not a commercial vehicle. I'm hoping the concept will catch on with different parts of the automotive industry. A smaller diesel engine smaller generator, smaller axle maybe with a choice of horsepower & torque for different applications. Like a Ford 9 inch has different gearing options
