A 90 tonne electric excavator is a serious power draw. I wonder what the charging infrastructure looks like at these remote mining sites. Are they bringing in mobile battery storage or relying on grid extensions?

Exactly. The machine is one thing, but the site logistics are where this usually fails. If they are just running diesel generators to charge the batteries, the carbon math doesn't work.

The mention of Northern Europe is the key here. These machines aren't moving because they are cheaper, they are moving because of urban noise ordinances and zero-emission zone mandates.

XCMG is pushing a full electric range from 1 to 90 tonnes. It is a broad play, but the actual adoption rate will depend on battery life in extreme temperatures.
