I’m surprised that someone in such a hot arid climate would put up with an open-station tractor in these days of accelerating global warming . I suppose that running an A/C unit would draw too much power and not leave enough to get much field work done between charges.

Funny that the claim is “zero tailpipe emissions”, yet it takes smokestack emissions to re-charge it.
Clean coal.What supply's the power to recharge the batteries???
