To add to that.... Bobcat is Korean made. Also there is another Korean made product to watch.
Hyundai Motor Company has closed their motor manufacturing plant. They will now become a all electric vehicle.

There was a thread about electric construction equipment a while back where the electric backhoes sat next to a diesel generator all night to charge.

Brilliant...

Sunbelt must be making a shitload of money, to be going down this rabbit hole.

4 hours of run time and integrates cutting edge software…. And since it doesnt have traditional hydraulics, none of your old attachments will be compatible. Yay

No hydraulics....interesting.

To add to that.... Bobcat is Korean made.

Here is a map showing all the global facilities...I think they made T7** at Gwinner ND plant.

HOW MUCH???? Skid steers are already terrible expensive. Can't believe there will be a "Used" market for any electric vehicles unless they extend the warranty.

Yes, it will be interesting. It will not have an engine or hydraulics which is a big cost. Also, it might not need the extensive cooling system. It will have the battery, drive motors, and ball screw actuators instead of cylinders.
