Trucked Up EVs
I love trucks & what we can do with them, but I also geek out on everything that brightens our collective futures, especially when it comes to transportation. I’ve walked the walk, using an ev truck as a work vehicle & tested its limits.
Want to learn everything about electric trucks & have a good time in the process? Then come along for the ride & get totally Trucked Up!
From Trucked Up EVs. Yes, I’ve converted my EV into an EREV! In one of the biggest developments on my channel since its inception, and a huge part of the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build series, I was invited to be the exclusive channel test pilot on possibly one of the most consequential developments for EV…
From Trucked Up EVs. Only a day ago in my monthly Trucked Up(date), I reported on Ford’s Universal EV Platform Truck being spotted in the wild by The Autopian (link below). Well, it turns out it was hiding even more secrets right in its camouflage! Here’s the unicorn site link, since I doubt you’ll have…
From Trucked Up EVs. In this month’s episode of Trucked Up(dates), there’s some serious activity going on in the EV truck space, and we’re only months away from a whole new segment taking shape: the compact budget EV truck! Here are the sources I used in the making of this video The Autopian Snaps Universal…

From Trucked Up EVs. Don’t let anyone tell you there’s an actual benefit to being beholden to fossil fuels. If they do, they’re only protecting their self interests.
From Trucked Up EVs. I’m planning to do some cool upcoming mods to Quasimoto, my 2022 F150 Lightning, but that means we’ve got to remove some things. The big question is: Will it ruin my efficiency? Well, there’s only one way to find out! Let’s go get totally Trucked Up! Whistlin’ Diesel Losing his S_____:…

From Trucked Up EVs. The Worksport SOLIS Solar Tonneau Cover is one of several major components in creating a range extending option for Quasimoto, my ‘lab assistant’ & 2022 F150 Lightning, as part of the ultimate F150 Lightning Build series! The Worksport SOLIS is such a great bed cover all on its own, but to…
From Trucked Up EVs. Hyundai rolled out its Boulder concept SUV at the New York International Auto Show, squarely targeting its sights on Fords’ Bronco and Stellantis’ Jeep. But under the skin loomed a much greater threat. The following day, the knowledge of a patent ‘leaked’ to the auto press. In it were details that…

From Trucked Up EVs. For the record, I love range extending tech for EV trucks. This video isn’t about being ‘anti-EREV’; it’s about bad timing and poorly executed product. And it’s the math that might mean the approach US Big Auto has committed to is already doomed before it even gets a foothold! I can’t…

From Trucked Up EVs. For the Record, I love range extending tech for EV trucks. This video isn’t about being ‘anti-EREV’; it’s about bad timing. As you all know, I will be building a DIY range extended system for my Lightning. But there’s the difference: Shouldn’t the tech work with full-sized battery packs instead of…

From Trucked Up EVs. Geely is setting up shop in Canada. There is no doubt. But will that include the Riddara RD6? It is sure looking that way. I dive into what we know, what is now possible, and what the future holds for Canada with a more global access to EV trucks, rather than…

From Trucked Up EVs. In this episode, I am thrilled to team up with Zachary Carpenter, lead electrical engineer, and Martin Meek of Martin Rebuilds, test engineer, to take on the ridiculous F150 Lightning 12-volt battery drain issues and solve them, once and for all.

From Trucked Up EVs. This one is near and dear to my heart because so many supporters of the advancement toward a sustainable future might feel discouraged by what is supposedly happening in the EV space so far this year. But we need to look beyond the US auto oligarchs if we want an accurate…

From Trucked Up EVs. It’s mind blowing, I know. Most EV owners already understand the savings of home charging, and the freedom we enjoy by not being tied to this global disaster we call just another Monday in the oil and gas industry. But some Ontario and Quebec entrepreneurs are finding new and exciting ways…
From Trucked Up EVs. No really. I’m not messing with you. It’s mind blowing, I know. Most of we EV owners (or thinking about becoming owners), already understand the savings, and the freedom we enjoy by not being hog-tied to this global disaster we call just another Monday in the oil and gas industry. But…
From Trucked Up EVs. As you know, I picked up a 2022 Lightning Lariat in December to replace Thor, my trusty 2024 Flash steed, after my unfortunate ‘incident’. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. It set off some MAJOR alarm bells as to the way modern vehicles as a whole are moving. The experiment…

From Trucked Up EVs. YOU DECIDE! Place your dream EV truck ideas in the comments and it might make the Top Ten list!
From Trucked Up EVs. This has been over four years in the making, well over a year before I launched the channel. The Lightning has been begging to be messed with since its launch, especially with a large portion of the structure coming from the gas version. At first, it seemed we were going to…
