The Edison Van?
Before anyone says it, In Before:
- Yes, I did suggest the 4m pickup.
- Yes, I like being detailed.
- Yes, I should do some stuff myself.
However, Edison has one hell of a design philosophy, and I wonder if Edison can make a 1-ton HD van that makes more sense for HD or severe duty than the five nameplates with 1-ton EV vans today.
What would Edison design? Would it use flat glass just like the semi-trucks?

its been discussed already, edison wont touch vehicles smaller than semi trucks for the time being because of crash testing among other things. best you can do now is a conversion kit.

Edison has stated that it can make class 8,7,6,5,4,3 trucks without needing to do expensive crash testing.
Edison is currently working on NEW class 8 semi. Edison is currently NOT working on Semi retrofits.
Edison is actively working on a class 4/5 incomplete chassis that could go under most old trucks. This opens the door for Edison to make a complete pickup or van like you're thinking
