I'm looking into switching our haul trucks and surface operations from diesel to electric. I'm curious about what we might gain or lose in terms of performance, what kind of infrastructure we'd need, and how it would change the way we work.
 
Electric haul trucks? Great for saving money and getting more power. Just remember, you'll need to set up a good charging system. They cut down on upkeep and noise, but long trips might make you worry about the battery. Also, using trolley-assist is a smart idea when going uphill.
 
To keep things running smoothly, think about when you'll charge and how long it takes. Quick charging and battery swaps can keep your shifts efficient. Also, if it's hot out, good temperature control is a must for keeping performance up
