Edison Motors began in a small backyard with big dreams. That space gave us the chance to try, fail, learn, and eventually build something incredible. Most people don’t have that luxury—and that’s why we’re opening up over 300 acres of our land in Donald, BC for others to start their ventures.
Whether you’re building a product, starting a service, or launching something entirely unique, our proposed Business Development Park gives you the room and freedom to grow—without the high costs or red tape.

From a Backyard to a Revolution
Edison Motors started with a simple idea: electric trucks shouldn't suck. We were tired of seeing "green" trucks that couldn't haul a real load. So we built our own.
We combine a diesel generator with electric drive axles. This means you get the massive torque of electric motors, but you can refuel anywhere in 5 minutes. No grid dependency, no downtime.
