Breakdown:
-
The largest EV on the planet is a mining truck called Electro Dumper.
-
It’s battery is 7 times larger than a Tesla P100D.
-
Due to how it’s used, the manufacture claims it makes more energy than it uses.
-
It drives up a hill empty, loads up at the top, then using regenerative braking, charges on the way down.
-
Real world examples don’t show exactly those numbers, but are still very impressive.
-
The Electro Dumper could save up to 130 tons of CO2, and 22,000 gallons of diesel per year.Even if this truck, sometimes called the eDumper, doesn’t regenerate 100% of its energy, it’s still amazing to see. (The real world numbers were closer to 80%. Pretty amazing.) “Electric vehicles will never be able to carry heavy loads.” FALSE! “Electric vehicles will never be able to do real work.” FALSE!
