A delivery truck is probably the best option to go all electric, because they aren't going that far, and come back to the depot every night where they could charge. The hybrid really makes sense for trucks that often don't come home at night, like construction or logging trucks. If the Edison is as open as it looks, the nice thing is that someone can build a bigger battery pack for the truck in 5 years time, or even replace the generator, when the infrastructure is there to support electric trucks in more use cases.

I've been think converting garbage trucks would be ideal. They are stop and go other than when they are driving to the landfill. Sure you could fully electrify it but if you could get away with only firing up the diesel engine once a day the battery pack could be much smaller which would be less weight and cost. An even smaller diesel engine would be fine for that. Run on electric for the stop and go and then when you are on the higher speed road where it's steady going the diesel can run. The advantage with that would also be up here in Canada with it being so cold during those cold few months you could have a diesel heater in the truck. Those diesel heaters are extremely efficient. Like .1 liters of diesel per hour for 2 kw of heat.

@pin65371 I thought about garbage trucks and even city buses with their stop and go cycles. Regarding garbage trucks, I would say that a lot of the noise produced is actually the hydraulics and the clattering of all the mechanical hardware in the compactor. The engine noise would still be there, but could be a constant hum of a smaller displacement motor running a steady rpm. Nevertheless, the efficiency improvements and possibly wear and tear reduction on drivetrain and brakes would be an advantage.

Ricki, I've been watching your videos and sharing them with friends, but more importantly, my four grandchildren, for about 4 years now. I have to say that this has been one of your best videos ever. I grew up in the forest industries in Washington. I've owned and driven class 8 trucks a lot of miles. both on the highways and the vocational market as well. These trucks are nothing but stupendous! I have a close friend in Merritt, B.C. who lives across Coldwater Road from Chace's property where they built their first trucks. I see an enormous possibility for their trucks. I will be making a trip up to visit my buddy soon and meeting Chace, Eric, and the gang to see what they are up to. I now live in Sweden and can see endless possibilities for Edison's work there. I am really looking forward to the future. I saw your panel interview last night and discovered this now. Thank you so very much for the fine work that you do. This video will help you create a bridge in the gap between the more white collar class and the working class viewers. I encourage you to remember that there are plenty of highly educated blue collar types that chose to not sit under fluorescent or LED lights for their entire careers. A lot of us are very creative and current on new and emerging technologies. Getting dirty at a person's play on the weekend might have a whole new meaning for those of us that choose to get dirty for work and play........and we know how to 'clean-up well' for when we go to town.

Trucks in Alaska's North Slope oil field sometimes get started in fall and don't get turned off (except to change oil) until spring. Because it's so hard to start a cold motor at 40- or 60-, it's easier to just leave them running 24/7. These trucks may only have a few scores of thousands of miles on the odometer but they have thousands of hours of idle run time.

Thank You for helping Edison for more views. Are you going to also make another video on their pickup conversions between Edison Motors and Deboss Garage? I hope you do. I love the ideas Edison has come up with and I love that they are planning on conversions of pickup trucks. I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 HD 5.9 Gas (one year newer than they are prototype converting right now). The truck is in generally great shape but when the engine and/or trans goes out I would love to do their conversion. Drive it around town and all electric all the time and recharge at home. Go on long trips with my 5th wheel RV and have the diesel generator to keep me going and allow for much more efficient and cleaner than the standard gas/diesel vehicles. It just makes sense. Edison’s idea for this is the refit of purpose built vehicles like tow trucks and vehicle maintenance type trucks that go help. They drive tons of miles. The vehicle itself is in great condition but the drivetrain is shot. EV conversion makes a lot of sense because you replace the worn out drivetrain with a drivetrain that should last a lot longer, be more energy efficient, and put in a range extender generator to make sure they can keep working past the battery charge. It is just great!

This type of applications seems perfect. Short haul, regional, yard dogs. Right now they're building a new Intel plant with these "Super loads" in my home town, loads exceeding 300,000lbs in cases but very short haul, would seem perfect to me for a use like that.
@zomgz93218 күн бұрын
Topsy is built super heavy for its intended use case but chase did say his first prototype dropped 300 lbs by going hybrid. So converting a clasic truck should have no weight penelty vs the purr diesel rig. Since the smaller engine and generator is around the same weight as the engine and trans that came out.

I remember watching a broadcast about semi trucks running on battery power and in that broadcast there was an australian company called Janus Electric which convert diesel powered trucks into electric ones, however, I think the most impressive part is how simple it is to swap batteries - do check them out !

We really need to hop off the bev and invest even more in to hybrid tech. We could essentially create hybrids so efficient that less energy dense biofuels would be feasible. And boom problem solved

Most industrial applications when very high torque is needed they use diesel generator and electric engine to move the truck. I'm thinking in giant lifters (200 ton at once), giant mining trucks, diesel trains, etc. So it amaze me why isn't that tech more prevalent in normal cars, trucks, etc

The 3-in-1 should be programable to send data at a specific rate and interval if it's overwhelming the network.

I misheard "vacational trucks" and the very beginning, and thought: "We don't need solutions for spoiled millionaires, but for the working people doing the actual work!" ... which was exactly what the video was about
