Now here is something interesting. And it doesn't appear to be a toy:

...or should this go in the thread dealing with replacement batteries?

Has been in the mini excavator segment for many years, is used indoors where no exhaust gases are allowed.

Can you imagine the electrical power infrastructure needed to recharge a 600,000 watt-hour battery pack within a reasonable time frame to get the excavator ready for its next job? No mention of the price, but 600 kWh worth of batteries are not going to be cheap. The 3.2 kWh battery packs of my Zero retail for around $2,800 USD each, as an example.

Think hybrid. Couple a battery with an IC or other power source. in one scenario, you could draw from the battery and other power source when you need to meet peak output. At lower outputs, use the other power source to recharge the battery and drive from the electric motor. It's just a matter of right sizing the system to meet the operating scenario.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #6 We had scooters for about 10 years. Before buying them I thought it would be strange not shifting gears, but turns out it was great, especially in town. Scooters.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Being a creature of habit, I'm still prone to grabbing a handful of brake when riding a Vespa...............

Bike is one thing, car is another. Have a Kia Niro plug in hybrid as company car, and boy is it economical! |

I'm not sure we'll opt for the plug-in version, but my wife wants the new AWD Prius to replace her 2010. The AWD version uses a supplemental electric motor for the rear wheels.

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #13 It must be a UK thing. I didn't have to click anything to see the article and it was short enough to read in about 2 minutes.
