[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1822978, member: 38038"] my work place has been doing testing on electric tractors. the most likely use is expected to be in orchard applications as seen in the video. battery supplier said battery is designed to last 12 hours. we get 45 minutes. less if you use more power for PTO or hilly conditions. larger tractors that use tillage equipment in large acreage fields will need a replacement battery(s) scattered throughout the field and an install machine to lift installed battery out and install charged battery. not a fast process. battery cost is expected to be upwards of $40,000. unknow expected cost of battery changer in field or how long it takes to recharge. no knowledgeable estimates on battery life since all farming practices are different. driverless tractors so far need so much safety cameras and software to prevent human injury or death that we are lucky to get 5 minutes of continuous work. TechKnowledge has a long way to go before electric driverless operator tractors became common. [/QUOTE]
