EV Dump truck that you don’t have to charge

[C5tor]

This is pretty cool. This dump truck gets all the energy it needs from regen, hauling loads down hill. Perfect application of electric tech.

World's largest EV never has to be recharged

So much for that whole uphill both ways thing, downhill both ways is much better!!

They should have build an escalator or a ski lift. Load it at the top, unload at the bottom. The cars circulate and come back up the hill automatically. Magic!

So, it has to have a way to radiate off the excess heat when using regen and the batteries are fully charges. Or, it uses brakes rotors. And I'll bet those get hot!

Or they just park it between runs to power a few small cities.

I’m sure they have some radiator setup like a diesel electric locomotive to dissipate the heat. Or else they have two lanes down the mountain: slow (for regen) and fast (for no brakes - so get the hell out of my way!)
