Debut of the DCE 3” lift on our own OPTIMA Overland R1S. If you are at SEMA please come by and check it out. Details coming soon.

Super excited to update my electric tonneau ASAP. However, I’m very disappointed in the manual solution. I’m sure there was a mandate to use the channel intended for the electric version. If you have ever owned a truck with a tonneau cover then you know that this manual option will never be...

Right now they are temporary for KOH only. Powered by a generator this year.

Each station can charge two vehicles.

We just finished installing two Autel Fast chargers in Johnson Valley at King of the Hammers. They are capable of 240kW. In addition we have eight Wallbox Level 2 chargers in operation. Even if you are not coming to OPTIMA Unplugged this coming Wednesday. We will be providing free charging...

The stock system has two small AGM 12 volt batteries that are in service and being used most of the time - even when it is parked, locked and not being driven. I’m pretty sure that the recent software updates have addressed some of the loads on the 12 volt system. Regardless, adding accessories...

The new OPTIMA Hypercore Lithium batteries are used in the Rivian trucks to power the additional electrical loads of the accessories. OPTIMA Batteries have never been made overseas yet there were two manufacturers building cheap counterfeit batteries.
