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. The Worksport SOLIS Tonneau Cover augments it. The Bluetti Ultimate Apex300 system powers it, & EverDrive lets me do it all while driving! But is my home-made EREV worth it. Is a gas or diesel power source a better solution? Now that most of the bugs are fixed, it’s time to…
From Trucked Up EVs. Get ready. SO Much MORE To Come!
From Trucked Up EVs. I love free press – even when it’s bad. But reading these two articles about EverDrive and my Bluetti power source setup involving all the same data (in fact, one of them seems to have copied the other), they paint two very different ‘moods’! If you are interested the EverDrive updates,…

From Trucked Up EVs. There are EREVs – the ones marketed and pitched by the auto industry – and then there’s the diesel and gas-electric machines where the application of a generator makes a LOT of sense as a permanent fixture in a truck!

From Trucked Up EVs. In this episode of the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build Series, I put my money where my mouth is and range-tested my jimmy-rigged EREV system using EverDrive’s auxiliary charge-while-U-drive port and almost 16kWh of an in-parallel set of Bluetti Apex300 and B500K battery expansion packs. If I could sum up the experience…

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 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. Well, for anyone worried about there not being enough EV truck news out there, I’ve got a volunteer editing job for them!

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…

I am revealing the entire Ultimate F150 Lightning build blueprint for Quasimoto: My 2022 F150 Lightning Extended Range Lariat. From extending the EV range to messing with suspension – I lay out each segment of the build…
From Trucked Up EVs. In this special episode of Trucked Up(dates) – what was supposed to be a monthly instalment (I’ll explain in the video) – I face a reckoning, in a way, of the American EV truck landscape. 2026 is looking abysmal, and on the day I filmed this, news broke that the EV…
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. I have some concerns. Donut Lab has been very shrewd in how they’ve approached their reveal, both garnering global attention and also keeping a lot close to their chest to supposedly protect their interests from major players that could copy their discovery before they could ever get to market. But is…

From Trucked Up EVs. Tesla finally addressed the elephant in the room last week: acknowledging that its Cybertruck prices were too high. In an obvious push to try & boost sales, Tesla offered a sub-$60k Cybertruck with dual motors with fewer features stripped off, bringing it closer to the original promised price back in 2019.…

From Trucked Up EVs. The Detroit Three don’t seem to be losing as much money making EVs as they are flushing billions trying to unload their EV assets. All the better for the competition!
From Trucked Up EVs. This is potentially horrible news, and the story is still unfolding, so all hope is not yet lost. We’ll have to see what Volkswagen and Scout Motors releases as more information develops – but VW has indicated it is on ice until at least 2028. Sources used in the making of…

From Trucked Up EVs. It sure looks that way. And although this is exactly what the market needs – an affordable, efficient flexible EV platform – maybe starting with a truck-shaped car might prove a poor decision by Ford.And Ford might have just made all the same mistakes that Tesla did with the Cybertruck by…
From Trucked Up EVs. The US thinks it’s the only game in town. Think again.

From Trucked Up EVs. We’ve all been waiting SO long for a compact ‘Kei Truck’ type EV utility truck for North America, and the Detroit Three just ignored the demand. Well, KIA might make the m pay for that oversight. The big question is will we be able to buy them. Well, it depends on…
From Trucked Up EVs. I know – here we go again: Yet another auto manufacturer walking back its EV truck variant in favour of an EREV.But there’s still hope, especially since there is one dangerous variable that might keep the Scout Terra pure EV truck on the assembly line. Sources used in making this video:…
From Trucked Up EVs. My wife says I’m a $#!% disturber – among other things. Well, I would hate to disappoint. What better way to get myself into trouble than by renting a Cybertruck and telling everyone EXACTLY what I think of it? Rent a Cybertruck and make you own assessment. Mention Trucked Up EVs…
