EdisonFuture is a new electric vehicle manufacturer. What segment will you specialize in at first? Here is the key.
It is fashionable to include characters linked to the world of electricity in the name of manufacturers of electric vehicles. Tesla set a trend in honor of the historic discoverer of direct current. After that came Nikola, a manufacturer of electric trucks, which are still in development. As expected, it is a very logical way to associate what is the purpose of a company linked to the field of electrical energy.
After these various bets, there was still room for the inventor of the light bulb, Thomas Alva Edison. This historical character in the world of technology allowed a great advance of society. Now the EdisonFuture Company pays tribute to their incredible discovery. This new firm in the automotive market has not yet produced commercially available vehicles, but it has succeeded create a first prototype that will be presented soon.
Taking into account the great competitiveness of the electric car, the truth is that it seems difficult to access this market through conventional options. Discarded this action, it has been decided to bet on a platform in which there are still no alternatives electrical. There will be soon, but they are not yet available for purchase. Yes, this is the purely electric off-road truck segment.
It is true that the GMC Hummer will arrive in the next few months, just as Tesla will begin production of the Cybertruck model in late 2022. Even Ford has the electric version of its most prominent pickup! All of them are at a deep point of development, but the assembly line is not burning at present. In this context, this company will present its EF1 variant in the coming days, which will be available with 2 types of bodywork.
Let’s see, therefore, what are the most outstanding features of the technology proposed by EdisonFuture, why are we facing a variant capable of making it very difficult for its theoretical competition and, of course, what are the keys to understanding to what extent this technology is differential in the electric car market.
A truck that bases its differentiation on solar panels
A product with these characteristics has a competitive advantage over other alternatives in other segments. The provision of a larger body surface allows, as it cannot be otherwise, the installation of a greater number of solar panels in the roof. This proposal, therefore, becomes one of the most interesting options for obtaining extra autonomy. Now, to what extent is it possible to count on this differentiation?
As can be read in the specialized portal New Atlas, this pickup model features an image that has a great correlation with the installation of these panels photovoltaic. In this way, it is possible to obtain a series of extra kilometers for free without having to depend on a wiring. Even so, it is still unknown what range of autonomy will be gained by simple exposure to sunlight.
Such are its planned dimensions that it could be a variant designed for use as a last-mile delivery vehicle. This technology has gained greater relevance in recent years due, above all, to potential access restrictions to the city by more polluting vehicles. The incorporation of this type of variants would allow to have a resource in terms of the delivery of parcels and supplies to individuals and entities.
There will be 2 versions, which will have endings T and V. The T would be the pickup variant, while the V would have a roofed finish. Both alternatives will count as their main virtue their great load capacity. Now, what is known about its traction capacity? At the moment, a variant of a single engine has been envisaged, which would be integrated into the front axle. However, the presence of a double motorization is not ruled out.
An off-road model that seeks differentiation in 4×4 skills
Considering the first images that are known about this curious project, it seems that the emphasis that has been wanted to make in relation to its tire equipment is striking. As can be seen, one of its spearheads will be the provision of great performance when it comes to offroad capability. Still, it’s too early to tell. You will only have to wait a few days to know more details.
The installation of the roof based on solar panels will turn heads. To some extent, part of your success will depend on optimizing this technology. This is mainly due to the high energy consumption that the production variant is expected to have. Everything seems to indicate that its weight will be quite remarkable, so it can serve as a counterweight.
Well do you think you can keep up with its theoretical competitors? It is true that this particular model comes without tradition in the market, but it is expected that it could be a benchmark in a sector that, in just one year, will have several models to distribute a segment with great development in countries like the United States.
