I've been thinking about the electric excavator for a while. I still think it's an interesting idea and has a fair bit of potential to be had. Only limiter being run time and charge time plus the accessories needed. But at the same time, maybe make it more of a machine that has a fixed place, such as in a transfer station to feed a grinder/shear for garbage reduction. A longer stick and boom for a scrap metal yard to feed a hammer mill or load/unload trucks and rail cars. At the intake for a lumber mill to load bark/wood chips. Keep the batteries or cut down on the number of cells while having it attached to an umbilical power supply. If it needs to be moved, disconnect the umbilical use the batteries to move to a new location, plug back in. I can also see it being handy just with batteries for very niche needs that don't require extended usage. Especially when there is concern about noise and exhaust in a confined or enclosed space.
