Electric haul trucks that charge in 30 minutes!

Came across this article. Hard to believe the batteries for a 240 ton truck could charge that fast. Doesn't say how much power the chargers use or how many trucks can be charged at a time. https://www.miningweekly.com/articl...lectric-mining-trucks-forrest-says-2024-09-27

    Regeneration braking likely plays a huge part in their operation also

    Still seems incredible for such large batteries.

    Don't believe to much of what Ziggy says, he can be very loose with the truth. Have a look at the nitrogen plant he said would change the world. Huge tax relief was paid and never returned.

    They were on display at Minexpo in Las Vegas this past week. Didn't get to see them run, but they were there. The drive axles were darn near as big as the tires.
