Pella has good interior shades. Either fabric or metal. You can just add a storm window to any normal window and put the shade in between the 2nd and 3rd pane. Great for bathrooms. They sound expensive until you price blinds/drapes.😊 Only about a hundred a window for the blind. The storm window usually cost more than the blind.

I didn't hear anything related to weather and charging time?

Go EV go broke. Electricity rates are going to sky rocket once a certain percentage of EV's is reached making them just as costly or more costly than ICE vehicles to operate.

Whatever advantage FCV might have right now will be lost after 10 years more in battery improvements. Not sure there is a single advantage even now as your video clearly demonstrates.

China has proved hydrogen fuel cell has better value than battery electrics in heavy-duty long-distance vehicles. China is the world leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology and adaption in heavy-duty long-distance vehicles, which is way ahead of the Japanese.

As a significant investor I want to see EBITDA positive financials and hence less talk, excuses and more sales execution. Corporate liquidity is getting uncomfortable, and time is ticking as we are losing are first mover advantage. That said what's going on with Mitsubishi HC and possible development of Agriculture segment and has that been explored? Mitsubishi HC is a monster company in the AG and Industrial sector and one can only assume the partnership is more than just a financing partner. In closing Lion Electric needs to seriously execute what they have in the sales book now or consider a sale to return shareholder value and protect jobs.

Saanich has to know that public praise and media attention from VicEVA is among the highest compliments that could be bestowed on a municipality with respect to climate change mitigation efforts. Saanich certainly is a world leader in its efforts to support low to no carbon transportation. Considering that transportation emissions make up a third to a half of the carbon footprint of Vancouver Islanders and that driving an EV in BC will cradle-to-grave emit 75% less carbon than a gas-fuelled car, a city that commits to supporting the transition to electrifying transportation is clearly on the right track. Full EV adoption will in fact alone bring a city into compliance with the 2015 Paris Climate Accord’s call to reduce emissions 30% by 2030. Decarbonizing transportation also greatly reduces the huge healthcare burden of air pollution, let alone also noise pollution. And why not drive our cars with fuel made sustainably here in BC: hydro power? This saves billions of dollars that otherwise would leave BC to fund oil exploration and refining. Keeping this money in circulation in BC will significantly boost our local economies. EVs are a win, win, win.

Just renewed my insurance for our 2018 Soul EV and 2023 EV6. NO premium for EVs AND a discount for the EV6 automatic emergency braking.

I'm glad to be an investor ❤ $LEV represents the opportunity I missed out on in Tesla 😊

Love the ambulance segment! Can't wait to see and hear more about this as it grows!

Interesting, but be careful with getting the voice audio right. It's hard to hear over the surrounding noise.

Production crew need to find a set of directional mikes - it's been difficult listening to the guys talking over the hubbub of the background noise. Great video otherwise 🙂

What does the voting choice of the wind farm owner have to do with anything?

People making hydrogen cars must be confident hydrogen is able to make itself.

It would have been a better debate if you had someone actually advocating for hydrogen. I could not follow the majority of his Matthew’s points. I agree hydrogen is DOA for most land transport, simply too inefficient which makes it too expensive. It ain’t gonna happen.

Good job Paul! Hydrogen is a dead horse for transport.

He needs a Mic on his shirt, Rhode do amazing Mic's. Really hard to hear Glenn.

Highly recommend you folks invest in some lav mics or get a mic attached to the camera that directional. Too much background noise from the convention.

More On The Run DCFC are nice but with how frequently they drop into power conservation mode and you only get 7-14KW i really dont know how theyre going to do their pricing structure since you could easily be faced with really slow speeds. Its also hard to really rely on them when they drop off in speed like that

Love the Edison. What they want to do is a breath of fresh air! REALLY hope that they succeed.

Excellent

Being a professional Vlogger, you really should get a better microphone as I had trouble hearing the entire video. Yes, my hearing is good. I don’t have any problems with it. 😂. Other than that I thought your video was great.

What chase didn’t say about Edison Motors is after they start manufacturing some trucks they are going to develop electric retrofit kits for other trucks. Think of an electric tow truck that uses its diesel motor as a level 4 fast charger, not only for itself but also for a EV that died on the side of the road.

What a shame, audio just shouldn't be this poor this day & age.

The new ships could be designed to have the top sides completely covered with solar panels. It wouldn't meet all the energy needs but it would contribute. Have a big flat deck like an aircraft carrier. Some regenerative recovery would also be available but that would be minimal.

Edison Motors all the way

The antique shown by the VEVA member is great, but the audio is hopeless - you need a proper microphone if you're going to do interviews in a noisy environment.

Banks don't need an investment in a truck company to greenwash their previous investments, because the oil and gas industry will happily do projects such as hydrogen production and carbon capture. They can also invest in proven wind and solar power projects. A hybrid truck is not what they need to look green... especially one burning diesel and doing logging.

Built by a team in a bay isn't all that unusual for low-volume production, and makes sense. But it's not quite what Edison has been doing (as Chace suggested @10:10), because those production vehicles are built with proper tooling for efficiency, consistency, and safety. While I agree that Edison doesn't need an assembly line, it is very far short of being ready for production comparable to those established companies. Yes, build a few trucks for a few pilot development projects, but get set up properly before even trying to build those.

The pilot approach (the first five or six customers) is sound.

The power assist on the steering of the Edison prototype is electrohydraulic, not fully electric (as described @5:27). It works the same way as many cars with systems designed early in this century: an electric motor drives a pump for an otherwise conventional hydraulically assisted steering box; my current car has this, too. In this truck there are actually two of steering gear units, in a master and slave configuration, as is sometimes used with very high front axle loads and large front tires. There's nothing wrong with electrohydraulic, and it's even a good feature from the standpoint of maintenance and parts availability, but the description is not accurate.

It's more than a little misleading to suggest the "Carl" (Edison's blue truck) is a logging truck, or tested (@2:02). The claimed (@2:32) 50% fuel consumption reduction with that truck is meaningless, since it isn't under working conditions. It can't haul anything, because the drivetrain is inadequate; Chace has explained in their videos that the driveline snaps under heavy load, and the Tesla car motor can't withstand sustained high power without overheating (because a car only needs that power for a few seconds at a time to accelerate). The truck they got into - with the custom cab - is a serious prototype, with very different components. When it is tested, then there will be meaningful data.

Banks don't take unnecessary risk with what is at the end of the day...other peoples money. The Bank of Canada is already losing Canadians money because of foolish ESG like 'investing'. It's naïve to think ongoing businesses invest to lose money. No one works a daily job to lose money. It's foolish to try to justify EV when it ends up costing way more since the end increases get passed onto consumers. Even the Canadian Government sucks at making Common Sense investments, because it's not their money...that they end up losing.

Hydraulic pipes in the cab, that will be some mess when one leaks, or fails under pressure .

Great interview with Chace, love his enthusiasm. This has been an exciting project to be following, I've been following since early 2022. I also love how this interview got more than half the Day 1 video, and that your Day 1 recap focused on the less sexy side. Most of the video recaps I've seen have focused on the sexier consumer vehicles.

Great piece of work, thanks for sharing !

Thanks to KZfaq for showing that. Regular Fully Charged / Everything Electric viewer here. Question to @VictoriaEVAssociation why didn't you share Edison's KZfaq and or Kickstarter? 🤔

Excellent interview with Edison. Chase on a roll. Love it

edison for the win

Good to see the contrast between the Edison Motors outlook, goals and presentation and that of the corporate “car salesman”. Night and day between those building and selling what they use and love vs those just trying to sell something to make a buck. 😂👑🦾 GO EDISON 💯⚡️ Blue collar CEOs are the answer!👍🏽

Great video - we attended on Saturday and had a great time! Loved the Detroit Electric. But please next time use an external microphone- hard to hear over the background chatter.

Love this company. Hate planned obsolescence.

I hope Chace is proven right about the planed obsolescence thing. I hope he gets rich off of Edison, not that it reaches a point where they're selling lots of trucks because they're so awesome but they're not profitable because they don't have a parts revenue or repeat customers...

12:34 Sandy Munro is looking intently at the Edison truck here. I hope an interview appears on Munro Live for Edison. Very cool idea. Great video. Thank you Victoria EV Association for posting this!

I know nothing about trucks, but I love the attitude of Edison: make a reliable, good quality truck that drivers want. They may take longer to be profitable, but in the long run, they'll be more successful than companies that take short cuts.

Hey!! at least Chace didnt take his hat off during his interview or get high blood pressure

How great that Edison trucks are anti planned obsolescence and instead focus on components that are solidly made, minimize the need for repair and will actually last!

Looking forward to attending!!

That was the first Port Renfrew trip.
