Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.

Sounds like it's your chance to pull an Edison (like the Canadian Edison semi trucks).

    Ew Edison...

    But yes, some other poster also was surprised something like this could not be started up in Canada

    I know our government here is also crappy and has tried to squash related initiatives before but I should look into it more

    Is your issue with the man or the company? I actually don't know much about Edison trucks beyond that they exist.

    The man... Edison was last century Jobs, best that can be said is that he had a good eye for business but basically just took other people's work, milked them and toss them aside making a profit for himself in the process without regards to the harm he was knowingly causing

    Yes I'm aware of his story. The Canadian company named themselves such because they were stealing Tesla's (Elon musk's company) idea for the electric semi namely because they never delivered and the guy really wanted one so figured he may as well make one himself. They seem like a pretty decent company, although very small.
