The eDumper makes a good case for going fully electric with heavy-duty construction, mining, and industrial equipment.

    So the energy this truck uses is harnessed via mining and loading… Essentially this energy was stored in the ore via geological processes.

    This truck uses continental drift as his fuel.

      Or in physics terms, potential energy.

      Since everything seems to be going downhill right now, how would I harness that power? You telling me the crystal peddling influencers were right all along? 🤣

      I’ve seen a cable lift that worked basically like that. It transferred ore down the mountain, so heavy buckets going down lifted the empty buckets back up.

      I’ve heard of a diesel-electric logging truck that uses this concept as well. Use the batteries going up the mountain empty, charge them again going downhill loaded.
