Electric loaders and mining trucks look good on a display, but the real challenge is the charging infrastructure at remote mine sites. I wonder what the actual power requirements are for these fleets and if the local grids can even handle that kind of peak load.

That is where the subsidies come in. Most of these deployments depend on whether the government provides credits for the charging infrastructure or if the mining company can offset the cost through carbon credits.

The 600,000th wheel loader milestone is impressive, but the shift to electric is the only part that matters here. I would like to see the actual payback period for an electric loader compared to diesel when you factor in battery replacement costs.
