Sorry that I don't fall into the "accredited" group (US) as I was looking forward to investing. I don't imagine that many of your fans are either. Interesting how the laws seem to make it difficult for the common man to move up (all in the guise of "protection"). I do hope that you find what you need, because I believe in your way of doing business.
I have my CDL and drive doing local deliveries 5 days a week in the US. I have little possibility to ever meets the terms of an accredited investor. I make around $65,000 gross yearly. "For truckers by truckers" Because the people of Edison believe in the right to repair I would readily put down $5,000-$10,000 worth of shares for the long term. The world needs more people who have these convictions. We have received multiple new trucks at our company in the last 6 months. Every single one has gone back to the dealership for work. Some even multiple times before ever reaching a few thousand miles. Lets get more trucks that don't require obscure diagnostic equipment and overpriced parts to fix.
I just love how Chase's face starts turning red as soon as he started talking about the right to repair stuff. Oh no, here we go.... lol He's getting much better at reining in the rants.
@@EdisonMotors hey sorry to jump on this comment but It's the first one I've seen that I can reply to the account. I just saw your short about Terrace and the issues. Have you guys looked into moving to Alberta?
As someone early into his STEM career, you and the rest of the Edison Motors team are true innovators. Keeping your honor and integrity makes it all the more impressive. I'm not able to invest at this time, but I will watch what Edison Motors does quite closely. I can't wait to see Edison Motors become the leader in EV trucks. Godspeed!
My dad and I watched our ‘99 Western Star roll off the assembly line in Kelowna and we personally drove it home. Now that truck has 40,000 hrs on it and it’s still going. Now the new ones are just a bunch of plastic crap. I hope things work out for you.
That's actually not it. Its where stupid people lose their money on scams, and then demand the government "DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT" - which the government is happy to do. Blame stupid Americans who refuse to own their own mistakes.
Why is it such that US investors have to have 200k+ anual income for the past 2 years, and 1million net worth to buy a 40 dollar share? God damn gotta love the US fucking regulations
I love you guys and what you are doing!! Thank GOD you understand the corporate history of automotive. Do not let Edison Motors become like Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. GO EDISON!!
I just signed up to invest. I believe you’ll build more electric trucks than any other company. Pure genius of letting the retro kits out to smaller shops. You’ll spend no money and advertising. And you have no real liability for the employees. I would love to to be a retro fitter builder
Yeah I am from the US and don’t meet the accredited status but would really love to invest in Edison Motors. I am a huge fan of companies making not only hybrid trucks but quality and repairable trucks! Y’all are truly helping push the right to repair and I’ll put my money behind that!
I'm glad you did not fall for that mayors scam to try and take your business after 3 years. This mayor was definitely trying to put Edison Motors into a situation where they would of had to sell to one of the mayors investor friends in 3 years or go belly-up. The mayor would have shown up after they would have moved in acting all nice, instructing an investor friend trying to sell them land, probably the saw mill land with a investment opportunity to build a massive facility on it. Also, he would have offered to cut through the red tap with the city all for the low low price of a majority share of the company. If he had not taken that offer, they would have ruined Edison Motor. That is what the 3 year temporary permit was meant for. That is pure corruption. .... ❤
I wish I could throw some money into the crowd fund but unfortunately I can't at this moment. In the future (next year or two) however I really would love to convert my shorty 2000 silverado to an Edison if pickup conversions become readily available at mass. I love everything you and the team are doing and I look forward to your future success!!! Sincerely from the canadian east coast!
As a truck driver and US citizen, I am not accredited, but as soon as you can, guys can open it up, I want to buy shares in Edison. Love what you do and why you are doing it!
Right to repair is such a huge issue in my science and research career, I'm glad to see other sectors are fighting back too. It's not much, but hope my $500 goes towards a local business doing the right things. Come by Vancouver sometime in one of your trucks and remind everyone what Canadian Ingenuity can do!
Nice, I missed out last time. Glad to have gotten in this round. New property looks incredible. I would rather see you lads setup in NW Alberta, but i may be a bit biased... lol
Good for you guys. I just started watching the channel. I built a truck years ago from pieces from the auto wrecker. The cost was half of a new one and i knew every bolt and wire on that truck. It COULDN’T leave me anywhere!!!! But sadly i sold it hoping to build another. But the communist party took over and now I will never own a truck here again. Just drive for other people. Once again congratulations and I SUPPORT what you’re doing
you're getting the shiniest 275 loonies headed your way as soon as i wring my pockets and couches dry. i will likely never buy a logging truck, but i love what you folks are working at. cheers from MB 👍
sucks I cant invest from Australia. I see a massive opening in the market here in Australia for these trucks not only for the long hauls across the country but for the mining industry which I work in as a high voltage electrician. a lot of mining of mining companies use road trains on site or on public roads to too haul coal/ other recourses a long distance instead of using their much larger mining haul trucks which most are hybrid as well. the benefits of an electric motors torque delivery would work perfectly with the large and heavy road trails used. as well as the ease of working on the Edison motors trucks
Hi, I currently work at a small upfit shop intalling roll off hoists, suspensions, and inspecting Autocar yard dogs. We are the only shop that is certified by Simard to install Simard Suspension kits in the U.S.A. If you have any questions regarding twin or tri steer trucks, I would be happy to help.
Dame this sucks I absolutely love what you guys are doing especially from the right to repair aspects. coming from a mechanic and I love to see this. And I would like to invest in your company you’re building I hope I will be able to in the future.
Hey Chase, I really do wish you the best, I like what I hear and hope you guys make it. Possibly more companies will be like yours and that would be a win, win for everyone.
I have been following for a while and when the pickup kit is released, I hope to convert my 2004 Super Duty. I wanted to throw another build option that I think could be lucrative. Put this system in motorhome RVs. The battery/charging system alone would make it worth it, not to mention the fuel savings/torque
Not anything against you, just bitching about the system here. Id love to invest in your company. Issue is i dont make enough to qualify. So by not making enough to qualify, i dont have the option invest in a company i see a very bright future for. This means while the rich are able profit off your future success, the working man that would use your products can not. Once again, nothing against you, just anti peasant laws hard at work
@@EdisonMotors -there are trust fund structures which could allow wider subscription to "associaetd members" - a trust for the enthusiasts of Eddison motors could be deemed a single (accredited) entity though having many individual associated persons..
Huge fan of what you guys are doing and I believe in the concept/think you will be successful. However, the valuation point is ridiculous (to be frank) and is exactly why there is accredited investor regulations in place. Without going too in depth, raising money at 13X 2026 revenue kind of sums it up - and using a DCF analysis in your business model to summarize a potential investor return is marginal at best. The scale and growth of the company will ultimately be dependent on institutional capital coming in but setting a precedent with this capital raise will become a big hurdle as you basically can’t do a “down” round in the future. Just my two cents.
We love your passion, Chace. I wish I had a million bucks to invest, as I strngly believe in your vision. I'm sure thiusands of others feel the same way.
@@jasonwilliams8016 yard goats would be another good case, also something Edison could build as all electric. They would be cheap to operate and could charge on the industrial power supplied to warehouses.
@phillip_mcguinness7025 yea for sure, I was thinking some utility trucks could be all EV or like Eidson but on a smaller chassis. I'm thinking bucket trucks for municipalities where they're parked using hydraulics like. So many trucks could be all EV and so many more make a ton of sense as Edison hybrids. The scalability of this technology with the class 8 and pickup chassis is amazing . A ton of trucks are on 4500/5500 and 3 ton chassis.
Yes, but they need overhead cables, and better yet special roads for durability, and then you can put many trailers behind one engine. Oh sorry that's a train ... For the last mile, electric should be possible. Edison Trucks are for the first mile and for work trucks. But this is just a dream.

Have you guys considered agricultural equipment as a future sector for your business. You guys seem like the anti john deer for a business model and I love that!!!
Is it feasible at this stage to crowdfund Kickstarter style? Maybe not for the semi truck, but the pickup retrofit kits? There has to be many who want the kit. Investors may get nothing back (hence the accreditation - they have tons of spare change and should things go south it's not the end of the world); people pledging Kickstarter style should get say a kit for their money. It's on you guys to deliver, but I believe you can do it. About going to the dealer for every little code, regulations mandate a J1939 port on the truck. So can any shop just go in and get the codes through that, using adapters most shops probably already have? Are you going to put a driver facing diagnostics facility right in the truck?
Apparently my country (UK) is not allowed. Bit disappointed on that as I'm pretty keen. I've not got that much to invest, but would love to be a part of what you're doing.
Considering that Canada & International investors don't have to provide any documentation for proof of meeting accreditation requirements, doesn't that mean that you can still invest if you don't meet any requirement? What can happen it that's the case and you still invest at more than 1.5M?
well dam, I missed out of the available stocks for Canadian folk by day 2 or 3. Only accredited shares left i guess. will there be another round at some point? would love to help out.
It’ll be available to those that buy a truck. When it’s finished well released it to the public on our website so tuners can play with performance and learn
It has be profitable and right now the only proprietary thing they have is the software, they have stated that so I hope they restrict it so it can't be copied and the business doesn't go under when the bigger companies copy cat the platform from the physical hardware side.
Unless you develop your own engine management it's going to require oem diagnostic equipment. Oem tools are just a fact of life when it comes to vehicles and equipment. Oem specialty tools are needed for servicing injection systems and even down to the socks required for the axle nuts. Abs is a requirement for trucks in Canada and the United States and bendix is the main supplier, oem tools and software is needed to service those systems.
Maybe there is someone on here that knows how to get the new administration to do something about the rules so us unaccredited Americans can invest cause im in the boat and would to invest been watching since the start
Start a SPAC on the Nasdaq and have it acquire your "Edison toys" company selling toy models of your truck designs and merch. Use the surplus to fund Edison Motors, which you don't have to list on the market.
Please people! There is a website for the company (have people forgotten companies have them?), there is an investment page on that website with FAQ, there are contact forms on the website and (for non-US) the crowdfunding page have an (empty now) Q&A. Do your due diligence by reading and be aware what you may do with your money. Even though the Edison Motors account is answering some comment I fear for people that (what it looks like) want to ask an important investment question on a youtube comment. Which the answer can be unintentionally vague or misunderstood, can be deleted later, or the video can be taken down etc. I think Edison Motors are clear enough but yeah the people who want to part way with their money so easily with just a button click after a quick comment is maybe not the best investors. And I'm not going to post any link, one should always only take links from reliable sources. It's in the video description.
I support you guys all the way. Sorry I can't help you more then just watch TH-cam. But please be the only company that take care also EM radiation in the cab. Truck drivers are sitting/living in the cab for long time each day. For that long exposure to EM radiation it must be as small as possible. But all cables in conduits that mediate those EM and no Bluetooth and WiFi if possible. Have drivers health in mind as well.
I would also love to work with / for you guys I think what you're doing is brilliant It's what needs to be done I don't understand why we have to reinvent the wheel every time we make something electrified and then add a whole bunch of lights to it to make sure that you know that it's electrified while sacrificing a bit of range in the process It's not about efficiency it's about virtue signaling but alas I'm broke car guy with an electronics degree in Michigan without a passport and would love to see you guys expand into a company that is not based on hype but actually based on a product that people want we seem to forgotten that in the last few decades
So need to note that all these rules are for a ?? LLC - not a public company - many international companies have a lot more stringent rules on numbers of investor in a Private Company (use of trust funds to allow many members to invest - with legal protection... A City in Victoria, Australia is now regulating (with administrative fees and permits) who can work on their own vehicles on private property.. How about corporate (Private LLC, Pty Ltd Co..etc ) investors fron "international" - Australia... (I could potentially throw 100k that way... Though personally not meeting the "Accredited" / Sophisticated investor - though I am more sophisticated than many of the Angel Snakes - "sophisticated" - means they probably won't sue or cry "fraud" when 500k of theirs gets burnt buying corporate private jets and Ferraris - as many startups seem to prioritise...) ...
Sorry but it looks like i can't help with finding until the light duty truck conversion hits become available in the United States whenever that happens if it ever does.
Well fuck. So much for investing in something i vould probably benefit from in the future. I do road construction trucking and could easily see an edison truck in our fleet at some point during my career. Too bad you can't just gift some shares in return for donations. You guys have a really worthy cause and it sucks that us truckers cant invest in something that hits so close to home.
Thank You for these updates Mister Barber. I am satisfied with not being part of the investment support for Edison if it means keeping the ultra-wealthy from gaining control and overriding Your intentions. If a way is found to sell single shares or a Edison Crypto Coin, i am certain that many of us would flock to buy. Thanks again Chace and Best Wishes to everyone at Edison Motors for the Holiday Season.
Could there be some kind of GoFundMe page for the new shop? I'm not really looking to "invest", just donate really. That said, I don't make over $200K yearly lol
If people feel the urge to donate, that is noble because they just want to participate. It is also noble for Chace to deny donations in favor of giving something more substantial in return. Me watching this dialog between you two restores my faith in humanity.
I'd love to pick up some Edison stock on the TSX.V exchange. Not sure what the details of that would be tho. Good Luck Is the 1.5M limit per investor or total out of Canada?
It's private so no stock exchange (thus far). 1.5 M was "crowdfunding" stock for Canadian and international (though I haven't seen international work) with the exception of the US. They have some cap (I don't remember how high) since they want the smaller loyal games instead of big inventors. Beyond those 1.5M there is only for accredited investors. Within Canada that seemed relaxed (up to you), for the US it's strict. All the info on the website, there you get it more reliably than what I remember.
What country if you want to share? In Sweden I couldn't even enter a proper postal code. I haven't tried the investment yet since I want that sorted out first (sent a ticket to FrontFundr).
@@subwarpspeedFinland. I was able to put a single character in there and got through. But I just received a cancellation email saying international investors need to be accredited
It seems it was the first 1.5M in crowd funding, which is filled up, that was open to anyone except the US. The rest seems to be accredited only. Some rules of going public directly (?) if too much money came from crowdfunding.
The interesting thing if you think about it is that our vehicles are starting to designed like World War 2 German tanks work. Think about back in the day. Only the company who created those specialized tools for those specialized tanks could be used on those one simple thing. That's why Jeremy lost the war 'cause they never standardized everything. The right to repair, it was not a thing
Are there any alternate forms of investment such as pre-order? Unfortunately most of the people who want to back this just don't meet the income requirements.

D'oh! Here's to they don't have to wait 4 years and get so pissed and go ahead and start yet another startup.
Awesome! CONGRATS!
Please allow me to invest in a sick jacket. $200... $300 in the store? Congrats!
Well, it's not an investment as we're wanting but a merch store wouldn't be a bad idea.
@@asonetuh6094 they have one. But they could expand it alot
I definitely would invest. Bummed.
Apparently my country (UK) is not allowed. Bit disappointed on that as I'm pretty keen. I've not got that much to invest, but would love to be a part of what you're doing.
You guys are doing a great job
Nic ( UK )
I can’t be invest but if I could I would these guys will be the trucks my kids will drive
If I made the qualifications I would totally invest in you guys. I'm excited about you guys are doing.
Considering that Canada & International investors don't have to provide any documentation for proof of meeting accreditation requirements, doesn't that mean that you can still invest if you don't meet any requirement? What can happen it that's the case and you still invest at more than 1.5M?
Sad that im not able to invest. Best of luck to you.
I’m in! Can’t wait to see you grow
well dam, I missed out of the available stocks for Canadian folk by day 2 or 3. Only accredited shares left i guess. will there be another round at some point? would love to help out.
When is the source code to the software used in the trucks going to be available.
It’ll be available to those that buy a truck.
When it’s finished well released it to the public on our website so tuners can play with performance and learn
@@EdisonMotors the Linux model of open source software would be very beneficial for Edison.
@@EdisonMotors Do you plan to open source the software, or just make the code viewable, but not license it so others can modify it?
It has be profitable and right now the only proprietary thing they have is the software, they have stated that so I hope they restrict it so it can't be copied and the business doesn't go under when the bigger companies copy cat the platform from the physical hardware side.
Unless you develop your own engine management it's going to require oem diagnostic equipment. Oem tools are just a fact of life when it comes to vehicles and equipment. Oem specialty tools are needed for servicing injection systems and even down to the socks required for the axle nuts. Abs is a requirement for trucks in Canada and the United States and bendix is the main supplier, oem tools and software is needed to service those systems.
Hope for all the best. If you go full on public some day I’ll buy stock but I don’t meet the accrediting requirements for the US. CLose. But not yet.
Maybe there is someone on here that knows how to get the new administration to do something about the rules so us unaccredited Americans can invest cause im in the boat and would to invest been watching since the start
EDISON! most of us can invest because we dont meet criteria. But you should sell merch! I would totally buy stickers and a hat for your business.
You should check their website, they've had merch shop a long time.
Do you have any merch or gear we can buy to support the cause?? I hope you guys reach your goals. 👍🏾👍🏾
We do have merch on our website!
Buy his merchandise that helps
Start a SPAC on the Nasdaq and have it acquire your "Edison toys" company selling toy models of your truck designs and merch. Use the surplus to fund Edison Motors, which you don't have to list on the market.
Hell talk to saber interactive about getting there truck in snowrunner as a DLC or whatever new game there coming out with
It's a shame crowdfunding is limited to 1.5m
Please people! There is a website for the company (have people forgotten companies have them?), there is an investment page on that website with FAQ, there are contact forms on the website and (for non-US) the crowdfunding page have an (empty now) Q&A. Do your due diligence by reading and be aware what you may do with your money. Even though the Edison Motors account is answering some comment I fear for people that (what it looks like) want to ask an important investment question on a youtube comment. Which the answer can be unintentionally vague or misunderstood, can be deleted later, or the video can be taken down etc. I think Edison Motors are clear enough but yeah the people who want to part way with their money so easily with just a button click after a quick comment is maybe not the best investors. And I'm not going to post any link, one should always only take links from reliable sources. It's in the video description.
❤ im looking fwd to supporting your business ^_^
I would invest. Keep up good work. Maybe a retro fit truck kit someday?
Pickup truck sized
I support you guys all the way. Sorry I can't help you more then just watch TH-cam.
But please be the only company that take care also EM radiation in the cab. Truck drivers are sitting/living in the cab for long time each day. For that long exposure to EM radiation it must be as small as possible. But all cables in conduits that mediate those EM and no Bluetooth and WiFi if possible. Have drivers health in mind as well.
I would also love to work with / for you guys I think what you're doing is brilliant It's what needs to be done I don't understand why we have to reinvent the wheel every time we make something electrified and then add a whole bunch of lights to it to make sure that you know that it's electrified while sacrificing a bit of range in the process It's not about efficiency it's about virtue signaling but alas I'm broke car guy with an electronics degree in Michigan without a passport and would love to see you guys expand into a company that is not based on hype but actually based on a product that people want we seem to forgotten that in the last few decades
I can’t wait to buy one of your trucks for a rig tender!
not missing out this time.... keep at it Chase
Too bad I can't invest with you. Will keep and eye on your growth. Good luck.
So need to note that all these rules are for a ?? LLC - not a public company - many international companies have a lot more stringent rules on numbers of investor in a Private Company (use of trust funds to allow many members to invest - with legal protection...
A City in Victoria, Australia is now regulating (with administrative fees and permits) who can work on their own vehicles on private property..
How about corporate (Private LLC, Pty Ltd Co..etc ) investors fron "international" - Australia...
(I could potentially throw 100k that way... Though personally not meeting the "Accredited" / Sophisticated investor - though I am more sophisticated than many of the Angel Snakes - "sophisticated" - means they probably won't sue or cry "fraud" when 500k of theirs gets burnt buying corporate private jets and Ferraris - as many startups seem to prioritise...) ...
Will you have staff accommodation in golden? Or allow RV parking on site? I would relocate for sure to work for you.
Sorry but it looks like i can't help with finding until the light duty truck conversion hits become available in the United States whenever that happens if it ever does.
Well fuck. So much for investing in something i vould probably benefit from in the future. I do road construction trucking and could easily see an edison truck in our fleet at some point during my career.
Too bad you can't just gift some shares in return for donations. You guys have a really worthy cause and it sucks that us truckers cant invest in something that hits so close to home.
If I invest through the crowd funding, do i get shares?
Read in the that investment page (linked in the description), it's the best you can do to know what you would be doing.
I would so invest into you guy's. Sorry I don't meet your qualifications here in the U.S. brother.
More reasons I hate goverment intervention. The monopolies can't let people invest in an uncorrupted competitor.
So happy it's going well for you, but sad I can't get in on it.
Would LOVE to invest, but I'm not accredited. Hopefully you get the non-accredited US investor approval soon!
Thank You for these updates Mister Barber.
I am satisfied with not being part of the investment support for Edison if it means keeping the ultra-wealthy from gaining control and overriding Your intentions.
If a way is found to sell single shares or a Edison Crypto Coin, i am certain that many of us would flock to buy.
Thanks again Chace and Best Wishes to everyone at Edison Motors for the Holiday Season.
Could there be some kind of GoFundMe page for the new shop? I'm not really looking to "invest", just donate really. That said, I don't make over $200K yearly lol
We could set something up like that, I don’t want people to give us money for free though. I’d like them to still get something
@@EdisonMotors I like that attitude. GoFundMe and IRL should be for people in dire need after some unforeseeable/hard to avoid event.
If people feel the urge to donate, that is noble because they just want to participate. It is also noble for Chace to deny donations in favor of giving something more substantial in return. Me watching this dialog between you two restores my faith in humanity.
What about gold plated and signed Edison Motors collectors edition hats. Sell for $100 each.
I'd love to pick up some Edison stock on the TSX.V exchange. Not sure what the details of that would be tho. Good Luck
Is the 1.5M limit per investor or total out of Canada?
It's private so no stock exchange (thus far).
1.5 M was "crowdfunding" stock for Canadian and international (though I haven't seen international work) with the exception of the US.
They have some cap (I don't remember how high) since they want the smaller loyal games instead of big inventors.
Beyond those 1.5M there is only for accredited investors. Within Canada that seemed relaxed (up to you), for the US it's strict.
All the info on the website, there you get it more reliably than what I remember.
I'm in.
That crowd funding website is buggy af. submitted from Europe even though it says Europe is not eligible. You might want to talk to them
What country if you want to share? In Sweden I couldn't even enter a proper postal code. I haven't tried the investment yet since I want that sorted out first (sent a ticket to FrontFundr).
@@subwarpspeedFinland. I was able to put a single character in there and got through. But I just received a cancellation email saying international investors need to be accredited
Trying to invest from Australia but Frontfundr but not letting accepting investors from here. Any other way I can support the work?
Please let us know when we can invest from the rest of the world, Australia is keen!
It seems it was the first 1.5M in crowd funding, which is filled up, that was open to anyone except the US. The rest seems to be accredited only. Some rules of going public directly (?) if too much money came from crowdfunding.
I’m trying to set up my profile on FrontFundr, but the address form only accepts Canadian postal codes, even though I selected a different country.
The interesting thing if you think about it is that our vehicles are starting to designed like World War 2 German tanks work. Think about back in the day. Only the company who created those specialized tools for those specialized tanks could be used on those one simple thing. That's why Jeremy lost the war 'cause they never standardized everything. The right to repair, it was not a thing
Are there any alternate forms of investment such as pre-order? Unfortunately most of the people who want to back this just don't meet the income requirements.
