Retrofit Revolution: Turning Old Pickups into Electric Powerhouses!
🔧Join us on a thrilling journey where we take classic pickup trucks and give them a 21st-century twist! 🛠️ Inspired by the impressive torque of the F-150 Lightning, we're devising a drop-in electric retrofit kit that's not only powerful but also easy to install. Imagine transforming your beloved F-350 or any solid-axle truck into an eco-friendly beast with just a few upgrades!
🔋 Where the toolbox once sat, we envision a robust battery pack. A compact generator coupled with an electric motor replaces the old gas-guzzlers, ensuring that your retrofitted truck doesn't just match, but surpasses the capabilities of brand new electric pickups.
🚜 Perfect for service trucks, ambulances, and, of course, the classic truck enthusiast, our kit aims for reliability, ease of maintenance, and that sweet electric torque for heavy hauling - all without breaking the bank.
✨ In this video, we take the F-150 Lightning for a spin to show just how incredible electric torque feels, especially when hauling heavy loads. We also discuss the potential of our retrofit kits for various applications, the importance of easy maintenance, and our goal of partnering with local shops for installation.
🚀 So, are you ready to join the retrofit revolution and turn your old pickup into an electric powerhouse? Drop a comment to share your thoughts, and let's electrify the roads together!

🔧 Built by Truckers, for Truckers 🔧
Founded by Chace Barber and Eric Little in 2016, Edison Motors is a testament to the trucking spirit. Beginning with a 1969 Kenworth Logging Truck named "Old Blue," they journeyed from Merritt, BC, hauling logs to the Yukon and drilling rigs in Alberta. Frustrated with newer trucks, they rebuilt classics from the frame up, expanding into power generation and off-grid solar systems in 2019. Their journey led to the creation of the Edison Truck, a robust electric truck tailored to logging and heavy vocational industries.
🔩 Upgrade Without Replacing: Edison Electrification Kit 🔩
Keep trucks on the road longer with the Edison Electrification kit. Upgrade your driveline to electric without replacing the entire truck. Ideal for vocational applications, this kit is a cost-effective solution. Unlike other electric trucks, Edison Motors offers customer choice. Choose between Rebuilding (utilizing existing cab and frame rails) or Remanufacturing (brand new frame and chassis).
🚚 Payload Efficiency: The Weight Balance 🚚
Edison Trucks match the weight of a normal diesel truck. With reduced motor weight and additional fuel balancing out battery weight, experience efficiency and increased payload capacity. The L series, though slightly heavier, remains comparable to a normal diesel truck.
🛠️ Keep Your Equipment with Rebuilt Trucks 🛠️
For vocational trucks, keep your equipment with a rebuilt truck. Edison's e-pto and control system integrate seamlessly. No need to replace your entire body when upgrading to an electric truck.
🔧 Bespoke Manufacturing: Handcrafted to Your Needs 🔧
The manufacturing process at Edison Motors is a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Each Edison Truck undergoes a meticulous five-step process, from frame and rolling chassis preparation to final touches and rigorous testing. The focus is on building a truck that reflects the customer's requirements, embracing the philosophy of "Building The Truck Of The Future With The Quality Of The Past."
🔌 Electric or Diesel-Electric: Your Power, Your Choice 🔌
Edison Motors offers both fully electric and diesel-electric vocational trucks based on customer demands. The onboard generator ensures continuous operation in areas lacking charging infrastructure.
💡 Advantages of Electric: Power, Torque, Longevity 💡
Edison Trucks bring increased power, torque, reliability, and longevity. Inspired by electric freight trains, regenerative ability harnesses energy for efficient uphill climbs.
⚙️ Efficiency Redefined: Diesel-Electric Technology ⚙️
Diesel-electric technology delivers peak load demand energy supply. Batteries initiate movement, and the diesel generator recharges the battery, capturing braking energy for restarts. The generator's constant RPM eliminates turbo lag.
