    Electric 4x4 mine vehicles, a look at the future?

    From Outback Travel Australia . Electric Landcruisers from three makers. Mainly intended for the mining industry, could they be fore runners of the EV 4x4?

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Surely longer range would come in proportion to demand , and development. Like everything else, nothing happens unless they can see a profit.

    Trade off is weight.

    To carry the capacity with current tech the weight of the battery packs is excessive. Rendering the vehicle useless.

    I’m sure this will change.
