Retrofitting for the Future: Edison Motors' Legislative Assembly Visit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Edison Motors, Deboss Garage, and the BC Greens team up and fight to bring affordable Electric Vehicles to British Columbians.
Legislative Assembly Visit
- Chase was invited back by Sonia Furstenau and the Green Party after his last visit. We're discussing incentives to retrofit existing pickup trucks with our kits. This is a crucial step in promoting sustainable transportation.
Supporting Local Businesses
- Quick food truck stop! These local spots are vital for supporting our truckers and small businesses. The best sandwiches for just $5!
Meeting at the Legislative Assembly
- We're at the Legislative Assembly Building to introduce the Clean Energy Amendment Act. This act aims to make retrofitted vehicles eligible for rebates under Clean BC, supporting the transition to clean energy.
Introduction of the Edison Motors Team
- Our team, including Chase, Eric, Ray, Rich, Aaron, and Theron, got introduced in the house. We're here to push for policies that make it easier and more affordable to retrofit vehicles to electric.
Introducing the Clean Energy Amendment Act
- Chase and our team have worked hard to bring this amendment forward. It’s about making the clean energy transition accessible and supporting local businesses.
A Historic Day
- Unanimous support for our bill! It’s rare for a division to be called, but every MLA supported us. We united the government to support a common goal of making retrofitting vehicles a viable and supported option.
Future Steps
- Next, we're aiming to bring this movement to Ontario and beyond. It's about rebuilding and fixing what we have, supporting small businesses, and promoting sustainability.

This wouldn't of happened without Edison Motors. Great job guys.
Have, wouldn't have happened.
Also Don't forget to thank also the Green Party for this opportunity. Lot of the times greens have been painted as the opposite for the economy for some reason.
Never thought I’d see the day that truckers are working together with the Green Party. This is GREAT
Why not! When the intrests meet there is so much to gain!
As a trucker/ operator Ive been voting green since I could they are trying to help the people and the environment and not just going after one or the other
I feel like Sonia Furstenau and the Edison/Deboss team just earned the Greens all across Canada a little more attention from car and truck enthusiasts that might never have glanced in their direction.
I hope that the press in the United States picks up on this story. I live in Florida and I am looking forward to the kits becoming available so that my F-350 can become a hybrid. I support Edison Motors 100% and I hope that your work is recorded in the history books. This is the first sensible solution to marrying old and new tech for the betterment of the environment without burdening vehicle owners with an unsustainable and costly switch to full electric vehicles. Thank you Edison Motors and also a thank you to Deboss Garage as well.
I would love to do this to my van.
All levels of government in all jurisdictions should be paying attention to this !!
Simple bill, simple wording, and can have a tremendous effect in allowing retrofit kits to get the same access to refunds and incentives as new car.
"Screw it, We'll build our own!""
They feared this "Screw it, We'll build our own GOVERNMENT!"
I’m writing a letter to my Provincial government here in Manitoba. This is perfect for the short trips too the field and power to run tools. Grain trucks as well, short trips.
Also in Manitoba huge support on this
Also in Mb
I am amazed by what a polished public speaker Rich is.
Thanks Chace and Rich for showing us how your form of democracy works. We have just had an election called here in UK. Now let's see if we can make some changes here, that might make things better for us and the world. By beginning to make democracy do what it should... WORK;.
Good luck in the UK... politicians there don't seem to care about representing the people.
Best of luck my friend, I hope at the end of it you get a government that works for you, instead of themselves. Best wishes from 🇨🇦
This is what Canada needs more of, innovation and perseverance in creating better technology that just works. So proud to see this happening.
We have innovation here in Canada, the government just allows it to be stripped from our shores.....
@@bobsch-gd6ze source: min wage is cheaper overseas bro. This trolling thing doesn't work well for you.
@@bobsch-gd6ze I knew fellow who was a young engineer that did some work on the Avro Arrow, one of his best memories was being able to sit in the cockpit for a minute when it was being developed. That was a tragedy of epic proportions when it was scrapped for political reasons.
Congratulations to Edison Motors and every retrofit company likely to benefit from the proposed legislative changes. By using a generator type hybrid system, Edison is perfectly positioned to transition to full BEV when/if battery chemistry achieves high enough energy density to be practical. Electric axles don't care if the power comes from a battery, hydrogen fuel cell, or ICE generator.
look at that tall Dutchman 😁good presentation Rich, Chase and crew, very impressive,way to go,
Yes, don't need a PR person who doesn't know what they are saying
Sonia Furstenau Really electrified your Legislative Assembly!
God Bless her!
Now this is what I call "Corporate Management"! Well competent corporate management.
Just got my retrofit reservation card in the mail. You guys are really crushing it over there
This video is so refreshing and common sensical. Unfortunately such a program wouldn't get unanimous approval here in the States. The Republicans would table such legislation just to deny the Democrats a win. Americans like to boast that the US is the greatest country in the world, but with such division, not so much. This Memorial Day I watched a Sunday Morning program that is saving the stories of WWII veterans. One of the men interviewed said the country was united in the war effort then, but observes that we will never be so motivated ever again. I'm proud to be an American but I wish our politicians could get their poop in a group.
I wish all success to Edison Motors, They are helping to save the planet.
Keep up the good work guys! The one thing I’d say that people are most over looking is the biggest cost in any vehicles carbon foot print is production. If you can not only make 3-4 year old miled out vehicles more efficient, but stop the production of another brand new vehicle the offset is massive!
Well done folks! Hopefully this will start a legislative wave across Canada and indeed the world.
Their efforts are amazing. Congrats to Edison Motors.
Now to spread this across Canada
I’m sending this to my local Saskatchewan MLA. They need to adopt this type of legislation as well
Sadly, I doubt that Saskaberta’s governments will adopt anything like this as both governments are heavily invested in subsidizing oil.
Pragmatism beats ideology.
THIS. Plus solving problems as opposed to simply getting rich.
Let's hope Chace NEVER turns into THAT GUY. You know who I mean, the one whose ego is SOOOO BIG. How big? well he demands $55 billion. NOBODY is worth $55 billion.
Only in fantasy land.
Loved the edit on the video (the Roadtrip bit)
Great talking also! Easy to get and a lot of important info for people to think about.
Hey Chase, it looked like you were going to cry or have a break down while DeBos was talking. LOL
You did have a very important point. The cost to replace the drive train instead of replace the whole truck. Less than half price. I think that was a very big deal. Convert to electric, have a reliable vehicle, AND save a big chunk of money. Wins all around. Richard was talking about everything that was getting replaced, he should mention all of the stuff not getting swapped out, and how much that will save the customer. You want the customer to know he's getting a like new vehicle, but that cost savings is a big deal. Especially for the politicians.
Great job to everyone, Rich you made this so clear, makes so much common sense.
Don't forget to VOTE,...
VOTE like yer life depends on it.
VOTE for the NPC's
Support You Own , HomeGrown, World Beaters
Go Edison
Ontario based gearhead here… when I find the perfect International 1200, I hope to be able to tell people that it’s got an Edison conversion.
Bad things happen when good people stay silent. Good on you folks for making these videos.👍👍
Excellent efforts guys.
Beyond excellent..... A vote is on the heels of the. MNP scandal, which worked well for chase and company.
Reduce reuse recycle ♻️ this is the way of getting where we need to be. Give the exsiting vehicles a second or third chance of life on the road. Keep up the good work guys looking forward to more great things.
It is so awesome and inspiring to see you guys get a huge win! Congratulations, well deserved. Keep fighting the good fight! Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Nice work fella's! Inspiring for sure. Please keep up updated as this moves forward. I'm in your corner.
As a br***sh co*****an I'm cheering for you guys. Your efforts are going to be rewarded. I watch all your stuff and am hoping to do a retrofit with my son eventually here. Cheers,
-from westbank.
What's with the treating BC like a swear word?
@johnarnold893 just a joke because our government wants to ban the term.
@@johnarnold893 You know.
To all of you who are involved in this project, sincere thanks from the socked in south Okanagan. It's great to see this innovation being produced a couple valley's west of us. Well done all, looking forward to watching great things happen.
Nice to see the government get it right and on first reading, we'll done Edison you guys are doing great and very needed work.
Congratulations !!! What a victory
Right on boys, you're doing the whole country a service, and no doubt, soon the whole damn world.
Damn everyone was in for it that's so nice to see
This is historic one hell of a home run congratulations to all of you young men for taking the stance no one wants to take out of fear because big companies making all the rules no one wants that take strength in spades men, I see men not one boy there my hat is off to you if only you see me!
Very well said! Great job, guys and girls!
Fantastic, guys!!! Fan, fan - tastic!!! ...and, great that Sonia heard your supplication and added her work!!!
Congratulations, guys.🤞it gets passed. But with all that support I don't see it being a problem. Keep up the good work. I cant wait for the day i can do a retro fit on my chevy express 2500 van
Would love to see #California and #USA do the same on the legislative incentives!!! Additionally, Chase and guys please come to the states and talk to our Government! PLEASE!!
Love your comments at the end about you not wanting to harm yourselves. You guys think like me. I received my stickers for my retrofit reservation. Thank you.
This gives me chills. So excited to see this support. I may have to move to Canada.
Well done guys...what a great team!❤
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO GUYS!!!!!!
Well done, gents. Happy to see this coming along. Can’t wait for kits to come together
Rich DeBoss the statesman! That has some people spinning!
Absolutely great work guys!
Finally a Letterkenny crossover!!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 God Bless you guys
I was shocked to see how little it takes for an ev to get marked as totalled.
Rivian have a few spuds underneath the battery box and insurance just pays out and says it's totalled. 50 usd could have fixed that.
So it's nice that you do what you do.
There is also Hyundai quoting people $56,000 CAD for a battery replacement on the Ioniq after relatively minor damage on the underside of the battery.
Disassembly and inspection, replacement of damaged components, should cost no more than a typical engine rebuild!
I'm not Canadian, but that got me pumped up to see the support.. you guys are awesome keep being you. This is awesome stuff man so happy for you guys!
I worked in the banking industry in Northern BC and Yukon and when I first saw your technology I said this is a common sense and affordable alternative to pure electric trucks. Congrats Chase and the team for this awesome step forward. You also are saving the RV industry with a towable alternative. Well done.
Just want this team in plaid mode on the job for energy rationality in general, please.
OUTSTANDING!
Well done guys and lets hope she can carry it through the next stage ..
The Uk should follow this sort of thing.😊
Proud of you all.
Keep up the good work guys.I sure like your working man suits.
Great job on everything that you have accomplished, just the start.
Also, great ending
Looking forward to seeing the subsidies for these kits available across the country, still deciding on a truck to get swapped for industrial work in Ontario
If yall could make a kit for smaller pickup trucks that would be siick, some smaller 4cylinder diesel generator
It was my understanding that as it stands, assuming "Carl" is Phase I, "Topsy" is Phase II, Phase III is the kit/new build for serial production of Class 7-9 Trucks; Phase IV is the step down to conversion kits for Class 4-6 Trucks (aka F450 - F650); with a Phase V of eventually the Class 1-3 Trucks (aka F150-F350 and Jeeps, or large sedans).
Phase III seems to be currently at the point of taking orders with deliveries starting once the rigorous testing has been done - they're at the stage of quality control. So Topsy is being used to test if the commercial harness and loom works, in place of the extremely bespoke set-up they made by hand.
Phase IV has been delegated to Deboss Garage (their main "installation" partners) to help with the scaling down to the smaller vehicle classes, and to exploit the second enormous market.
Phase V is not expected until 2028, or likely 2030.
This is absolutely incredible. Business and government working together to solve important problems. Hopefully there can be more of this.
United, we stand! 😊
That disclaimer at last.. Funny but so true.
No discredit to any of the guys, but seeing a group of good ole boys pull up into the Canadian Govt to shake things up is some stick it to the man spirit i like.
Wow .. A UA-cam from inside of a crummy. Love it! Hello from your neighbors in WA.
So proud of you guys! What you're doing in your little patch may well have ramifications for the rest of the world. Well done!
Go big or go home 🇿🇦🇿🇦, love the show.
What the hell, why did I get unsubscribed from your channel? I heard about things like that but always thought it was a myth. So glad you guys are keeping up the great work
I have incredible respect for Sonia. The Greens often are the conscience of the Lege. (Disclosure: Was a card carrying Green for 15y.)
Bringing truth to power, with great objectives. Good job guys 👍
Promising start. Now comes the waiting game. Could get sidelined anywhere along the line.
That is SO AWESOME!!! GREAT WORK!!
so proud of yall, and the BC gov for the movement on good sense legislation
Wow - great to see such support for the bill!
It's just Common Sense.
Great video....this is the kind of content, along with the building videos is why I subscribed to the channel.
BTW. When are the Edison Retro fit project Truck videos coming to YT?
Great job guys! Something about Canadian truckers making an appearance on the world stage. Positive change! Let's focus on managing resources wisely and be practical about the transition to electric vehicles. I don't follow the part at the very end about being unalived in a parking lot?
Totally agree on the Food Truck on the Coq. Coral and I never pass that truck without buying a meal.
That disclaimer at the end tho... stay safe guys
I love the sports-network-style transitions lol
They can electrify a truck and save both the carbon generation of making a new one and the carbon of running a motor all day long in an inefficient manner. A simple solution that does not require a new cycle of carbon intensive smelting of new metals and refining of new plastics, and has the ability to charge itself at a remote location is an appropriate technology for the region.
Great presentation go edison go
Time to get rid of parties and party lines!
Works for China.
Well done. Rome wasn't built in a day and you guys just keep on building. I thought it was telling that Rich is so used to playing to an American audience that he said he was from Ontario, CANADA! I think if he spends enough time in BC he'll find that most British Columbians are well aware that Ontario is part of Canada (even if they don't subscribe to the "Ontario-centric theory of the universe." )
That ending was hilarious!!!
.....
And also very practical......
Congrats guys!
I think electric vehicles are stupid but i actually like yours. They sound like they actually work.
Great work chase it's all happening , you are a super star , making things happen , your name will be long set in history 100 years from now , all the best with it mate
Congratulations Men!
The Flannel Shirt Mafia's First WIN!
Time to sell RED Flannel Shirts w/Edison on the front, and rear,
and maybe lightning bolt sleeves.
Love the new intro!
Unopposed! Thats awesome to see
Rich looks out of his element at the press conference !😂👍🇨🇦way to go guys, your going to do
well.
Dang, got the whole Letterkenny crew in one truck.
"Keep the momentum going, onward and upward.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada."
The editing makes me feel like I’m watching a football game highlight reel. And the ending 🤣
Ok, now Ontario or better yet, Ottawa
