im a professional diesel mechanic for large trucks, and i have almost never heard of Nikola until now.
A little canadian company I am pretty excited about is Edison.

Instead of futuristic cabs and touchscreen everything, Edison is making trucks that professional over-the-road drivers have used for decades and know like the back of their hand. this is i believe what people on HN call "boring" technology but trust me, you do not want excitement on a 1400 mile drive. Theyre also targeting some of the most brutal applications for trucking including offroad logging and snow removal.
- wyre 2y agoI would like to think HN readers know. It seems like every thread about modern vehicles people here wax on about how unsafe and terrible for the user modern car dashboards and controls are. It isn’t a long jump to go from understanding wanting physical controls in a commuter vehicle, to wanting physical controls in your vehicles that are driven full-time and require additional licensing. I’ve heard of Edison in the past (I think it was on TikTok a while ago), and they seemed like a very cool company. I didn’t realize they are also working on EV conversions for existing trucks. Very cool!
