Looks like this could be interesting. I did not look too hard, but can't find data on how long it can run between charges.
I have never understood why electric cars (and now tractors) do not have an easily replaceable battery pack. I realize there would have to be a standard across all companies..... but just drive into a "gas" station and swap out a battery pack and be back on the road in a few minutes. Then the battery can be recharged while you are driving on to the next station. I realize there is a heck of a lot more logistics in it than that, but it seems logical. Since it seems logical no legislature is ever going to deal with it.Last I'd seen, they had stake trucks with huge batt. packs that they could drive out into the fields to quick charge them.

10 hrs seems pretty reasonable. Also if they are fully autonomous they can drive back to the barn, recharge and get back to work. So they can work overnight while I am sleeping.Back in 2020, they were claiming 10 hours/charge and a $50k price tag...
Now, $68k for 70HP...
All the best, Peter
because batteries can be abused, and a finite life, if i take care of my battery and want to prolong its life, why would i stop somewhere and swap a battery that can be damaged or have a shorter life cycle, especially considering most of them cost 10-20k to replace.I have never understood why electric cars (and now tractors) do not have an easily replaceable battery pack.
