We reserved a Tesla Semi. After five long years of waiting and no truck, we said, "Screw it, let's build our own!" And so began the journey of Edison Motors, two truck drivers with nothing but a tent shop and a backyard. This video tells the full story of how we built an electric truck from the ground up, while billion-dollar companies struggled. From restoring old trucks to designing hybrid systems, we turned our passion into reality. Learn how we did it, why we did it, and what’s next for Edison Motors.

Don't miss the story of how we went from university students to building our own electric trucks in just two years. If you believe in blue-collar ingenuity and bringing manufacturing back to North America, join us on our journey!
