[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1745954, member: 9096"] probably would be reasonably energy efficient, but time inefficient. A lot of electric vehicles, (semis included) get extended range from regenerative braking, and don't operate at peak power much A tractor tilling fields will be operating close to peak power most of the time and will have no regenerative braking.. then you're going to have to drive it home to the charging station where it will dim the lights of the entire county for a quick charge (you're looking at megawatts on this), the batteries are going to be about 3 to 10 tonnes for a half a day of run time For lighter use it would be fine, like feeding tractors and such that also don't have seasons where they need to run day and night to get stuff planted/harvested [/QUOTE]
