Electrifying Texas: A Week of Meetings, Innovations, and Adventures with Edison Motors
Join us on an exhilarating journey through Texas with Edison Motors!
🚗⚡ This week, we dive deep into the heart of the Lone Star State, exploring everything from local installer shops to cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.
🔧 Our first stop? Meeting with talented installers across Texas, touring their workshops, and discussing future collaborations. It's all about connecting, learning, and strengthening our community.
🚚 Then, we're off to visit Hyliion's warehouse for an intriguing opportunity. They've exited the electric truck market, leaving a treasure trove of parts up for grabs. Can we snag some valuable deals?
🛠️ A potential meet-up with Lewis Rossmann is on the cards too, delving into the crucial topics of right to repair and sharing valuable insights.
🏭 The Tesla Gigafactory is another highlight. We're checking out this monumental site and meeting with potential investors - some of whom have been with us since the beginning.
🌆 Our nights are just as busy with a lively outing in San Antonio, mingling with fans and investors alike, and soaking in the vibrant Texan culture.
🏙️ Next, we head to Dallas, but not before sharing our experiences in local shops and discussing the importance of electric vehicle safety and training.
📈 We also face challenges, like a disappointing investor meeting that doesn't align with our vision. But these setbacks only strengthen our resolve to stay true to our mission.
☕ Don't miss our candid moments too - from tasting Texas's unique cold tea to driving under historic bridges and admiring the organized chaos of local mechanic shops.
💡 Our trip is filled with learning, from the history of electric propulsion in trains to the future of electric trucks and the business ethics that drive our decisions.
🇺🇸 As we wrap up our Texas tour, we reflect on the incredible connections made, the lessons learned, and the journey ahead for Edison Motors.
Stay tuned for our next adventure, and don't forget to check out our merchandise on the website! Thank you for being a part of our journey.

🔧 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.
