Better fuel mileage, lower maintenance costs, more power.

Built By truckers, for truckers.

Edison Motors was founded by truckers.

Truckers told us how the truck should work and feel.

Edison Engineers picked the parts needed.

Mechanics decided where the parts would go.

The result is the most driver friendly, easiest to service, electric truck ever made.
