Will save an absolute fortune on fuel, maintenance, and servicing.
The electric dump trucks have been around for a few years now. The regenerative braking charges the battery going down from a mountain mine. They go back up empty. In many cases they never have to charge again after their first charge because they weigh so much less going back up. I will edit with an article on them.
Edit. [World’s largest electric vehicle has never been charged ](https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124478_world-s-largest-ev-never-has-to-be-recharged)
It produces 200KWH of extra electricity everyday.
I’ve known about these for a few years. It would make a good TIL for someone though.
FUCK YEAH!
When mines make the switch to EVs, what will it take for some people to pay attention?
