Re: Battery Power Taking Over
I never would have guessed that heavy equipment would move over to electric before the majority of passenger vehicles.
I remember seeing somewhere that the worlds biggest excavator ran off electric, but that was actually hooked up to power lines.

(diesel over electric motor) The excavator we had here in Oxford was powered by overhead lines. It was an awesome sight to behold.

Re: Battery Power Taking Over
A little math tells me they need about a 100A service to fully recharge overnight.

Re: Battery Power Taking Over
The article said you could get 5-7hrs day out of the charge. Pretty amazing.
I could see where they would create a battery platform where you could change out the power pack like a battery in a saw.

Re: Battery Power Taking Over
Here's from the mfg website. Quick chargers are lowered to the top of the bus. Can use plug in too. Local article here mentioned the roof charging --- 8 min to get what it needs. Occurs at the central terminal here as all routes pass through it.
A lot of other interesting stuff on the mfg's website also. https://www.proterra.com/technology/chargers/
