An important thing they need to setup now is an internal data repository for their installers on what does and does not work and why it did/didn't work. Because there are going to be so many custom installs on so many different frames there is going to be an ocean of different setups. That and shared customer maintenance records between dealerships.

@@petergraphix6740 that knowledge base will be critical important. If installers can learn from each other share best practices - that should speed up installs and improve quality. So not every small shop needs to reinvent the process over again - economies of scale. You need something like a Wiki where installers can make suggestions to the process and others review and vote on it if it gets the new standard.

I have a proposition for you. I agree with what you are saying. There's a range of vehicles you have not covered just yet. No one has, and you can be king of this market. The Skoolie community needs you. The only options left for buses are DEF and DPF engines which are costly. Gas motors don't work very well on Buses. We need an electric option that will work in a school bus. Most school buses are medium duty level trucks and if your kits can work in a medium duty truck like an International 3800, it should work with buses with a little more weight. We need the buses geared to drive 70 Mph tops. Some default go 50-70mph. Is this something that can be achieved? There's also plenty of room on buses to install large battery banks, and if there were kits where we could install into them, you'd have a market.
@aaronfreeman5264
@aaronfreeman5264 4 месяца назад
I don't think School Busses need cruise at 70, on a regular basis, and 45 mph only needs one third the engine weight. 45 mph is just 20 meters per second. It might be possible to rent a beefier engine for Summer Vacations. School Busses have a lot of space in the Under Carriage.

@@TheNikitis So Skoolies must cruise at 70, but School Busses might do this rarely. The Edison Motors Option was considered 90 years ago, but Rail-Roads were less sensitive for Weight. Maybe we could have a dirct drive turbine engine, that drives the bus at only 70mph? The Turbine would not like 65mph, but would be very efficient at 70mph. Just a clutch and a turbine.

Great work, Chase - just building a functioning hybrid diesel-electric big truck system is ambitious enough, but you are also being AN AMBASSADOR of SANITY in a world gone amuck! In an earlier video, you said SOME GUYS are REALLY GOOD at ANALYIZING THE CODING and ERROR MESSAGES of existing OEM software systems, and could patch a new hybrid system in to older truck's dashboards or even in to more recent model trucks that are already loaded with existing computer modules and CAN-bus systems. WE NEED a DATABASE of these guys who are really good at, ace at at ANALYZING ELECTRONICS - sort of like an Angie's List, or yellow-pages for people seeking pro help in their area for either converting older trucks to hybrid electric-motors or just repairing today's overly complex software monstrosities. I know you have a couple of excellent guys writing code and integrating computer modules and electronic controls for Edison Motors!

Thanks brother, it’s a real problem. I’m an independent heavy duty mechanic, and I’m no dummy. Working on EV’s wouldn’t be intimidating to me but the approach of companies to withhold technical info from repairer’s like me, or how companies like Hyundai make repairs more costly than a new vehicle costs makes repair impossible. I fear what this mentality will do to the commercial vehicle and equipment industries if and when it enters our space.

For those of us who know the history of the project and company, yes, he definitely has a tendency to 'transfer his enthousiasm', as Brian Tracy says. :grin: On top of that, what he is offering is something that is needed, wanted, can be used, and can be afforded--at least by those with the capital to take advantage of his products. That being said, saying that he is 'just like any other salesman' is actually *_incredibly_* insulting, as he is going _against_ the current trend of proprietary, closed-system, unrepairable, tofu dreg products that so many others are going with. He has turned down multiple investors who were only looking to make money and refuses to go the *MUCH* more profitable dealership route, instead going with qualified local installers who just buy the kits and install them for _their_ customers, thus spreading the wealth. I suggest you watch more of his videos and talk with those he has talked with. I am confident that your opinion will change.

by using off the shelf parts, usually they have to adhere to either a standard or most popular to get that "universally compatible" profit. also you dont care about the battery pack really they just have to match size/volume and the controller being a 8 pin can always have that as the bare minimum and then upgrade or add some other components via an extra plug. etc.

I really like the way Chace is blasting through the red tape of bigger companies. One thing I would suggest though is that they get some strong legal advice on their training liabilities. While Chace is simplifying the installation procedure in the video, the electrical industry has a lot of protocols that Edison will have to follow whether they like it or not. I know Edison means well and I genuinely wish them every success. They have the potential to be an proper industry disruptor which is something that is long overdue. The last thing I want to see is Edison Motors get caught up in some legal issue because something went wrong with an installer job or someone got hurt. This company is on a roll and it needs to maintain it's momentum to be a success. All the best to Edison Motors. Can't wait for the next installment.

Can you just imagine if every vehicle was a mobile genset? Seriously, say goodbye to blackouts--your car is a genny, go plug your house into the special plug it's got for just such an occasion. BIG air, BIG welders, all sorts of capabilities that normally required a specialized vehicle can now be made modular because the truck is the powerplant! That's just one little possibility in an ocean of possibilities, and you're right--it's frustrating seeing companies go about this in the wrong way. At least you guys are going about it the right way--you're living in the same future space as the rest of us who actually use our vehicles to make a living. "Can this make me more money/make my life easier?" is very different calculus for the end-user than it is for the corporate goobers who are responsible for the state of the automotive industry. Real change comes from REAL end-users saying "I can do this better" and that's what you guys are doing. Canadian captains of industry and I'm here for it.

This application perfectly suits my business. Im curious about the PTO options on a 7.3 IDI. I have a small vaccum truck business, and the ability to run the truck, half electric, would bring huge net savings. Especially considering half of the trucks' use is not in transit, instead in PTO operation.
@augsu
@augsu 9 месяцев назад
I would assume that the 7.3 would go away. A much smaller engine would be required to power your needs. With, say, 20kWh of battery storage a 10-20 kW generator would get you 100-150 miles plus the power needed to run equipment. A generator is far more reliable and efficient than a truck engine as it only runs at one rpm, so a little 30 hp unit will do.

More importantly: Edison's Tech is highly modular since the Batteries don't care where the electricity comes from.

When the charging infrastructure is in place, dropping the generator entirely *should* be a viable option as well.

I’m moving in the direction of hopefully adding another used 5500 sized trucks with a service body and crane. Would be perfect for a small semi retro fit

I am very happy to be on your list for my one ton Ford. I am in rural Maine and we have flooded roads a few times a year. I want through 20 inches of water last storm. First of two questions; Is the electric motor going to be able to be submerged ? Second Question relates to the potential of being towed out of the woods. My concern is if the axle will free wheel or would the tow have to overcome the motor resistance. I saw an old range rover that had manual locking hubs front and rear so that it could be towed long distance without the drive train engaged. And yes I jump up and do a happy dance every time you mention making a truck (or anything else) last a life time and be fixed at the garage down the road.

That's a great business model by the way, I think this is what the Harley Davidson did when they trained the people to be able to work on their bikes, which in modern world is called "right to repair". This allowed them to create a loyal community! Amazing strategy, keep it up sir.

Jay Leno was talking about this but not to long ago you would go to the general store to get your kit to put a bed on your truck…this is where the term pick up truck came from. You guys are essentially doing the same thing with a certification process. I love it !

I love your company and your ideas. I am sure you have thought about this already but I am a little concerned about your installers, just make sure they can’t cut you out, and make their own trucks and conversions. Look back at early 1900s car industry, very cutthroat.Also don’t ever go public if you want to keep your company. Keep up the great work!

Either the cost snd reliability issues of new vehicles, I bet if someone set up to convert Ritchie bros specials and throw bale beds and serve bodies on them, reupholster the interior, they could sell a lot of pickups in farm country.

I was just arguing with an EV nutjob, and in using google to source my ancient knowledge I found that my knowledge is way out of date. Gasoline engines are now 30-36% thermally efficient, and diesel is 40-45%. Which is amazing! Edison has a great future, hopefully I can invest soon.

I have been keeping up with you for a while. I like the direction you are going. I'm a small shop in Missouri USA and I would like to get into this. The problem is that small independent shops like me may not be able to afford the downtime and upfront costs. I have yet to see a cost estimate for the pickup side. I'm a 30 year truck and equipment tech. I had actually planned and started to convert a small tractor, but the cost and money got in the way.

This is a great video. I was watching and at 16:00 I busted out laughing. The conversation was all over by 16:52. This was an amazing clip! I saw Chace do exactly what my mind does when trying to solve a problem. If I have a problem to solve, that stuff never comes to me if I sit with my eyes closed, open my eyes, and try to write it down some solution. It never works that way. But if I start talking, just like Chace did, all of a sudden a bunch of new ideas just start falling out of my mouth. I have no idea how that works or where it comes from, but this is the first time I have ever seen it happen with someone else on camera!! I know EXACTLY how he felt in that moment! The look on his face as he turned away is exactly how I feel. I always want to turn to whoever I'm with and ask, "Do you remember what I just said? I'm not sure I got what I said there." I'm still laughing. At least he has it on video.

Made a mention of using propane. I was wonder if you looked at something like the Qnergy generator? It uses a sterling engine with a linear generator first developed by NASA.

I have nothing to do with Trucking but when I saw your video hauling the tank really got me excited about the potential. This really is the best solution in the short term to reduce emissions. The benefit of converting vehicles to running on natural gas, which is already piped everywhere in the EU would be huge. I would love to invest in this if you are ever thinking about going public.

how you went off thinking about running a semi on propane - is exactly how many of us think. His mind is the reason he got to this point, giving the common people a solution, probably the most important solution they need right now.
