If you think e-Hummer is not big enough this is the solution : )

Quicker than #Hydrogen

Show me the system behind that and the costs of the environment to build and run that loading station.

Why??? Hydrogen is clearly the better option here

needs to make a video on this truck.

Should be good for about 3 hours of typical haul duty cycle. Not enough, but pretty good for a test mule. If they can charge at the crushers and maybe trolley assist on the pit ramp, could extend range. Pack power density needs to improve, but still far cheaper $/t than H2.

Or, it could go to the top of the mine, use regenerative braking while descending, and repeat the same trip dozens (if not more) times before it has lost enough charge to be a problem.

Another knife to the back of the carbonized supply chain.

The specs will be interesting esp power vs just capacity Typical diesels in this tonnage range were 1.5-2 MW if I recall. Also the kWh per hour ton hauled during a typical cycle.

Sweet, you can buy 10 of them to replace one diesel fuelled machine of similar capacity.
