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

    EV never has to be recharged… Because it recharges on the way downhill.

    “World’s largest EV never has to be plugged in” is sufficiently click-baity without being so dumbly self contradicting

      More like “never has to stop working to charge”. It is novel that its charging mechanism operates as a function of doing its primary job.

        Not novel. I think there was a train somewhere in Africa, that transported some ore from mountain to port. On the way down with ore it charged and uphill it used charge.

          Is novel for a dump truck to use this. Of course it’s not a completely new concept entirely.
