The Result
The full battery electric excavator is equipped with a 122kW electric motor and has a 300 kWh on-board battery system, which enables 5-7 hours of continuous operation.
The battery is charged from a 400 Vac grid connection with up to 173kW of power. Charging while driving is also made possible, which means the machine can operate around the clock when tethered.
One of the first machines had cumulated 4000 work hours in 2022.
