Yes, go watch Edison Motors video from 3 Months ago about “Government Grant Controversy.” Basically the company that “recommends” their services to help you apply for a grant, also runs the department that receives the applications and decides who gets the grants. Basically, Edison tried to pursue legitimate means to get funding for innovative technology and stumbled into a mess of corruption and conflict of interest.
Linus himself also likes PHEVs alot. Having pined over the lack of replacement for a car like this Gen 2 Chevy Volt. The Edison cap on screen is intentional support.
Congratulations for your aware and for the grant which will help you with your snow plow build. You make all Canadians proud of your drive, persistence and your entrepreneurial spirit. You are an example for young Canadians...
My favourite part of you guys and your journey is the contrast in a industry disrupter compared to Tesla. Blue collar hard working small business owners, using the resources they earned. As well as their own ideas and creating a family working together to put a affordable product and sticking it to the slick talking rich boy who can only use his money to buy people and ideas. Warms my heart, and confirms what I know, ingenuity is driven by necessity. Growing up around farmers taught me that.
Thank you Edison motors! You are doing a great service in Canada and will go down in history as the company that put Canada on the map for emissions reductions and large mover vehicle innovations and restoration. Keep going and going with innovative emissions reductions because you are truly going places! 😊
Congratulations to eddison as a company getting recognised with such a substantial grant means the government is taking you seriously in the market,,, that must make everyone so proud
Congratulations, It is a major accomplishment to have "The Government" notice a young company that is just starting out! I believe that your company is at a turning point in a Big contract for snow plows! The Canadian & American snowplow customers. But I still think, that the center seat cab, is the future for snowplow chassis!! 👍👍👍
congratulations guys! i dont have a need for an Edison truck just yet but i love the work you guys are doing. Hopefully one day we can have an Edison motors Facility in the States!
Congratulations 🎊 on a huge advancement on Edison motivation. I'm live in ontario and used to live near where you have partner'd to electrify a p/u truck. I would like to print his garages name but l don't want to spell his name incorrectly . He is known for most of his diesel swaps and in true form quite a character 😊
Congratulations! Glad to see you getting some support, you guys deserve it. Hope you get even more. Great to see a Canadian company get some recognition!
As someone who saw you since your rant about how it’s taking forever for your tesla truck forever ago, it’s amazing to see how far it’s come from concept, to prototype, to actually selling a couple units, to now actually being FUNDED with a grant!!! It’s incredible!!! Good to see the work you boys are putting out.
Amazing work you guys are doing! Working a job site 5-10 min down the road from your Merritt site. Drove past to take a look. Never got to see Topsy, but was able to see Carl and your light towers from the road as I passed.
Congratulations on the grant! I’m a fan of the technology you’re using, have been for years, locomotives been doing it right for many years, why not trucks, anyways I advise you to start a branch in the states to avoid the coming tariffs, I want to see your business grow in America, wishing you the best.
Congratulations fellows! I wish you the best. Looking forward to see how this plow actually performs. I wonder if you will be able to make the purchase price competitive. However, you ideas about doing the simple way will go some to doing that. All the best.
Have you looked into a fuel called, HVO? Hydro treated vegetable oil, it nearly perfect replaces diesel, doesn’t even need a tune but burns cleaner and emits nearly 90% less co2. Also in the tuning world HVO burns clean and hot so you can run allot more rich without soot, ever seen those videos of diesel shooting loads of flames
HVO doesn't emit 90% less CO2 when used in an ICE. I presume you are referring to a notional closed loop of biofuel whereby the CO2 that is emitted and added to the atmospheric CO2 is subsequently used by future planted biomass. The ICE still emits the CO2 just the same, along with particulates and nitrogen oxide that has to be dealt with, like with diesel. Yes, in theory it should have some CO2 benefits compared with fossil fuel but unfortunately it's not an option for large scale usage due to the vast areas of potential food growing land that would be needed to produce enough fuel for existing diesel fleets. It may well have a role in helping with the transition to lower carbon for a small proportion of vehicles (so, yes perhaps users of Edison Motors hybrids may be interested despite the higher fuel costs) but the danger is that people just use it as a reason to further delay the movement away from inefficient ICE technology.
@@MrAdopado Correct about the it will be less fossil CO2 emitted. And that's the goal of they grants from CICE etc. Yes problem with HVO is that is mostly is made from biproduct materials (e.g. slaughter waste, pine tree oil, etc.) so it's important to get those who don't really need diesel to go onto other things, like diesel cars, the use for most of them could be fulfilled by BEV. Then keep the HVO for essential (not personal convivence) where diesel is needed.
It's nothing Edison needs to look into. It's just fill up and drive (if there is local supply on it). Here in Sweden, home of Scania, we've had HVO100 available for 6-9 years. It's being built out and the engines are certified for it. Not that they really need it since it's basically the same as fossil diesel. We've also had it mixed in with regular diesel (like up to 50%) and FAME on normal pumps for cars.
I would love to see you guys get on some podcasts. I could listen to Chace talk about his plans for this company and I think they provide a great platform for you guys to get more attention and possibly funding
Fwiw. The thought occurs to me, that this CICE grant was due to Edisons strong presence at the 2024 Electric Canada convention. And it was super important that Edison made an initial appearance at the previous 2023 convention. And Edison almost missed that convention because the 3rd party shipper that was paid to quickly deliver the Topsy prototype headache rack, dropped the ball in summer of '23. I'm just glad Edison received this grant in '24, and not in '25 (or never at all) Carry on Edison, you got this.
Electric motors for plow purposes makes so much sense. All the torque when you need it and for smaller plows like 1 ton trucks, and forward/reversing causes no mechanical wear like in a regular auto or manual trans. Probably faster too since you don't have to wait for the truck to come to a complete stop.
I'm so happy for you guys! Great to see the progress and updates, pretty unique I think to see the internal workings of a company like what you guys do, it's appreciated! Also love that yous are always wearing the Saskatchewan dinner jacket ;)
I'd love to see this tech come to medium & light trucks, but not holding my breath. If it wasn't for the bold, innovative thinking of you folks, it wouldn't have come to the heavy truck market.
wow this is so awsome to watch - since week 1 it's been inspirational... especially on the subject of grants and the last debacle this is wonderful to see
There are two kinds of government officials in the EV space and you have now met both. The first kind are the ones trying to steal from taxpayers and mine their own pockets and the second are the ones trying to help innovate for the future. Edison is the future of industrial EV technology and finally someone recognized that. Would be nice if the other independent EV company could help but somehow you’re competing with them in spirit if not in fact. I would love to see a collaboration between Tesla and Edison with Edison getting a boost and producing amazing industrial vehicles.
I have been following you for a while. I had a wild idea while watching the only TV show I watch. I watch gold rush. They are always moving heavy machinery around via semi/trailer. With your "unique" propulsion system, what if the truck was the trailer. A dozzer has a pto that could power a generator. Think maybe a flat nosed semi with no diesel engine. Just a bed with a connection point to the pto. Just back a dozer up and on, connect it up, and it could get itself anywhere quicker than driving itself. It could be used with any heavy equipment with a pto.
Is Emcon going move this snow plow around to all their location to try it out in different areas or just keep it in B.C? They have a shop 10 min from my place in Ontario, would love to see it!
“I won’t punch any government officials today” Is there a history here that I’m missing??
There might be some earlier videos on the channel exposing government corruption in the alternative energy grant sector of the Canadian government… might…
😂😂😂
Yeah, wut?! 😮
I think it's more Concerning when a Canadian stops saying sorry. Definitely need to watch out then lol.

Flannel shirts and jeans among the suits and ties. Warms my heart.
I'm stupid so I like when rich people dress like working class people.
@Boogabeega chase lives in his mom's basement. If he were rich his tent would at least have concrete instead of dirt
When people think it’s a fashion statement but really my bank account just isn’t large enough to buy the suit.
@@EdisonMotors don't ever fall for that trap.

And you have much better things to do with the money you have!
I still love watching Alex from Linus Tech Tips wearing the Edison motor hat. Your fans are out there and so proud about what you managed so far.
Linus himself also likes PHEVs alot. Having pined over the lack of replacement for a car like this Gen 2 Chevy Volt. The Edison cap on screen is intentional support.
Alex is awesome
Congrats on the $500K Edison Motors... your innovations are turning heads and winning some mighty nice awards!
Congratulations to you all! Well deserved recognition for the amazing innovations from Edison!
Thanks man
Great job Edison Motors! Canadians kicking ass and not saying sorry. 👍👍🇨🇦

Huge news! 🚨 Edison Motors just won a $500K CICE Grant for our Emcon Hybrid Snow Plow! ❄ Let's keep the momentum going!
Congratulations, It is a major accomplishment to have "The Government" notice a young company that is just starting out!

But I still think, that the center seat cab, is the future for snowplow chassis!! 👍👍👍
it doesn't work like that, you apply to the procurement auction, and extend your bid offer. they don't notice own their own.
congratulations guys! i dont have a need for an Edison truck just yet but i love the work you guys are doing. Hopefully one day we can have an Edison motors Facility in the States!
I love that you showed up in jeans and plaid, it just shows that you’re not the same company men who are just there for the money.
Not just any jeans, the fellows put on their city jeans, and not their "drillin holes all day in frame" jeans.
Very happy for the Edison team. Hard work is getting the recognition it deserves. 👍🏻

There is hope for this country yet! Congratulations on the grant.
This is a dust spec in the industrial sized septic tank that is Canada, Kevin O’Leary might invest 17bn , still not gonna so shit
Awesome! We'll deserved. You have a phenomenal app for EV tech. Heads high and never stop "plowing" ahead.

That's how the game is plaid, ladies and gents.
Is that a pun! 👍👍🇨🇦
This is amazing and exciting. Congratulations 🎉
I talk about what ya'll are doing constantly because I'm excited to see where ya'll go.😊
Slow and steady wins the race
Finally, getting the grants you deserve.

Also in the tuning world HVO burns clean and hot so you can run allot more rich without soot, ever seen those videos of diesel shooting loads of flames
Probably a good idea, interestingly the very first design of Diesel engines ran off Peanut Oil before switching to Petroleum based Diesel Fuel

I presume you are referring to a notional closed loop of biofuel whereby the CO2 that is emitted and added to the atmospheric CO2 is subsequently used by future planted biomass.

But does it produce equal or more power or torque than conventional diesel?
@@MrAdopado Correct about the it will be less fossil CO2 emitted.

Absolutely outstanding and well deserved. Good job guys. Keep up the amazing work! Hopefully there are many more awards to come.
Very nice! Congratulations guys. I look forward to seeing how snow plow project turns out.
So so happy for you guys!!!! You really deserve it !!!❤❤❤
Edison realized early on that hexagons are the bestagons and it's really working for them every time I see this logo
Yall are doing such amazing work with hybrid set ups!!! Good job guys.
u guys are making Plaid trendy again, love it ,,, also a reservation holder for the pickup build , excellent job guys !!!
In Canada it's always in trend lol😂
This is Great! Keep up the absolutely phenomenal work that you are doing.
Outstanding, congratulations❗️🎉
So jacked seeing things going so well for you guys, Congrats👍
