Thanks man! You did a fantastic job explaining this. This was so cool to see this video pop up on my feed, I can't believe I'm seeing videos people are making about our truck. It's so cool
Great presentation! Well explained, entertained, informative and funny. All the things needed for explaining something to the masses to get off their asses! I am now a new subscriber.
Points to ponder. Regen braking saves wear and tear on the brake pads. A very expensive and critical component. These trucks often are working well below freezing. There’s a diesel in-line heater in the batteries cooling line that you set to pre-heat the cold battery so when you’re ready to go, they’re at peak capacity and could receive a charge immediately, rather than having to wait for the battery heaters to warm them up above the freezing point. The small amount of diesel used in the preheating is offset by a more efficient battery start on a cold morning. Last. Many municipalities in Canada have discounted hydro (electrical in Canada) between 10pm and 6am. You can shut off the regen before your shift is over and plug into a charging pod at a reduced rate and save on energy b
11:00 When I was (not seriously) contemplating hooking up a 50kW charger to ~ 15kW service I was thinking that batteries and solar can provide the bulk of the power. The batteries can then slowly charge when the charger is idle. I suspect the concept can scale up. The amortized cost of solar has been cheaper than grid hook up for almost 10 years now. Adding batteries is close to the cost of grid hookup. So the only thing needed to make it economically viable is for batteries to come down in price.
Thanks man!

Awesome to see you guys here too
Hey man Thanks for the comment. I have only one question have you actualy watched the video ? if yes what you thought about it ?

Thanks and Welcome
Thank you for the video. I have been following these guys for quite some time now and you coverage was very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Love the front elephant someone made for the truck
people truly like them

fair point & its a really good truck
Edison motors is genuinely a amazing company.
That is a FACT

batteries to come down in price.
not happening anytime soon as the price of raw metrial is going up too fast and lets not even talk about inflation
@@s2tenglish Sodium ion batteries have much cheaper input costs.
@@jamesphillips2285 true but so is its power output which is half of Li Ion even bit lower than Lithium iron phosphate
Damn it man you can speak quickly
ouch
The system can operate without battery.
yes but u will not get regen
@@s2tenglish Obviously as there is no energy storage. They do claim to have AFE and can use the engine to dissipate energy to.
can we change the lo causing population collapse
nope I have not even seen any theoretical proposal
I dont know
