    Well done Case for leading the charge here.
    What about regenerative charging on slew/braking cycles?
    Someone below mentioned solar charging - actually not a bad idea at all, especially in sunny climates where a little extra PV would help, potentially running non-essentials like the dashboard display, beacon and movement buzzer?
    As 'silent' as it is, will it come with a buzzer alarm to notify groundworkers of its movements? Obviously a constant white noise alarm during all operations will get tiresome, but a buzzer every time the machine changes direction would be great?

    • @Caseatwork
      @Caseatwork  4 года назад +4

      Stefan - all great comments and feedback - whenever you are braking and putting negative torque into the system, it does regeneratively recharge.

    I like how they call electric powered anything "zero emissions".

I'm not oppose to the idea of battery powered equipment but they really need to be more honest about it.

      Maybe in flyover states that's half true, but most major states like California and Texas have advanced greatly toward renewable power generation, and it gets better every year.
      insideevs.com/news/398551/evs-better-climate-ucs-report/
      The national average for operating an EV in 2018, for example, translates to driving a car with roughly 88mpg efficiency. 2020 will be even significantly better of course, but the researchers haven't compiled the updated data yet, stay tuned.

    • @Caseatwork
      @Caseatwork  3 года назад +1

      Dalton, thank you for your interest in CASE and the 580EV electric backhoe loader. The battery electric version will come with trade-offs as battery power creates unique challenges to package compared to the well-established and familiar diesel engine and fuel tank. Electric machines are not positioned to be a direct replacement for existing diesel powered backhoe loaders that have been around for decades, but serve a need on jobsites where noise reduction and emissions are the priority. Regardless, I assure you that the digging capabilities of the electric version meet or exceed that of the diesel version. Just like electric vehicles on our streets and highways, customers looking at the electric version will need to consider the length of their operating day and transport needs for the machine.

  • @larrymacdonald4241
    @larrymacdonald4241 4 года назад

    Great idea, but..... 8 hours run time, might be ok for union outfits but not the work I do, 30 years of rentals, in machine at 5 or 6 am, on the job for 7, finish 5,6,7 at night because with rentals you just never know, back to shop, 2 hours travel time plus a 10 hour work day, I regularly do 12 or 14 hours a day in the machine. Which of course depends on how far job is from shop, backhoe's are not left on job sites, too easy to steal, too easy to be damaged, tires, windows etc..
    Cold weather like we have here in Ottawa, Canada, would reduce your run time if using Li-ion, however there is a new type of cell out, LTO cells, good for -40 and huge cycle rate, thousands compared to Li-ion or Lifepo4. Would last years compared to other battery chemistries. Make batteries exchangeable, so you can quick change to fresh battery packs, smaller packs also will bring down repair cost, easier to replace a small battery rather than one large one. Have 4 or 6 smaller packs that a man can handle by himself, make a trailer for extra batteries, so you can tow it to the job site.
    New Battery technology that lasts decades, Lithium Titanate Oxid - LTO
    ruclips.net/video/v8EBI-N0KTk/видео.html
    Make is so you can use a Generator with it, for those locations way out, if your trenching or rock breaking, they have " Electric vehicle range extenders " on Ali Express, 48 to 72 volt, 3000 watts. So you could use one of those or similar, under 100 .lbs, could carry in front bucket. You could also make a " quick attach front generator " for the days all your doing is using the backhoe, or battery pack that fits in the front bucket.
    Some of us, at least me, would prefer to be able to use a small nintendo type joystick for backhoe, hall sensor foot pedals for controlling attachments, at least 2 of them, like a tilt rotator bucket, I prefer to use just my thumb and fore finger to control sticks rather than my whole hand, I rest my hand on the back of the tower, it makes for sore fingers after a while, so it would be nice to have the option of using smaller joystick type of control, but thats just me...

Its 40% more expensive than a comparable diesel model, where the hell do you charge up a battery like that? You can't even run the machine for a full day, 4hours come on, what happens when the temperature is at -15c, how much run time would you lose?Leaving a $100,000 generator on a worksite over night to charge up equipment isn't really ideal to most companies. Oh wait that just means more security guards and insurance premiums. This electric phase companies are going through is ridiculous. Using equipment like this in mines, areas where zero emissions is needed yes makes total sense, as special equipment but to fully replace a fleet of equipment for construction companies just isn't happening anytime soon. Dont even get me started with JD and their equipment preventing customers to repair their own stuff.

      You think site workers won't hear this coming because the drivetrain is silent? Someone should really explain to you what friction is and how loose surfaces and weight amplify it's effects, which include noise.
      Also, this obviously charges from the grid so how much it costs to charge is determined entirely by local electric costs. 90kwh at a typical cost of $0.10/kwh means from empty this thing should be under $10 to charge pretty much anywhere.

How about the eventual disposal of the depleted battery? How about charging? Big percentage of power plants use coal. Not to mention the small contractors won't be able to do any repairs other than tires, hydraulic cylinders, and lube pins.

    I don't get it. Finding a plug every day to plug this is would suck. And if you forget, you lose a day's work.

      You would probably get a guy to do it or put it in practice to plug it in or someone will get a earful

      You already have to do daily greasing and other maintenance on your backhoe, how hard is it to add another step to ensure that it is plugged in before you go home?

    Not sold!! The people that want electric backhoes are not the people that are running them!!

      People who don't want electric backhoes will be the ones running from them.

      What do you think people running them won't like?

      False!! i know quite a few operators that want an EV and several more that are open to trying it out!

      The people running backhoes are smart enough to want the most efficient and user-friendly equipment available. If I'm in a drag race I choose a Tesla P100D, not because it's electric but because I know it's going to wipe the floor with pretty much anything! Case makes AWESOME equipment, and I bet this is won't be a disappointment either.

      Thank you for your comment. The CASE 580 EV is specifically designed for certain utility and municipal applications - luckily, we're still manufacturing our diesel power units as well. You can see the full details on the CASE 580 EV here: www.casece.com/northamerica/en-us/resources/articles/media-case-unveils-project-zeus-580ev-first-fully-electric-backhoe-loader

    So still need a generator on site to charge it every night. It's cool and all you'll never beat the power and instant torque of an electric vehicle. I hate all this emission crap talk when the carbon foot print from lithium mines and all the other crap it takes to make the battery has no benefit to the environment compared to a combustion vehicle. So emmision wise there is no benefit of an electric vehicle. I work construction and this wouldn't cut it, 8 hours of normal operation so that's probably under the best conditions. So realistically working it hard actuall run time. 3-5 maybe? Idk I think itd be a hard sell, work days carry from 6-18 maybe 20 hours a day sometimes who knows.

      Maybe the fact that EVs don't need to idle can play to their advantage here, they're always on and ready, consume nothing and causing no pollution while doing so to boot, no rattles or noise from the motor either, meaning less fatigue from operation, and no noise complaints.

      Just like an EV vehicle, charging from a generator is the worst case scenario. They will need grid access for best, least expensive charging option.

    • @jacksak

      @buck wuk - I agree. It's not going to last at full power for 8 hours, and what about overtime or emergencies when the battery is dead? Also, a quiet machine is dangerous on a construction site. No one can hear it coming. And, I agree on the lithium mines.

    • @buckwuk7984

      I don't doubt that they will be useful in situations, in buildings/ confined spaces would be great. I'm just thinking realistically, I do mainly roads reconstruction/underground type stuff. The 2 we have, when they are on the job site they dont stop moving since they are a very useful machine(I hate them). Again though electric definitely has its benefits but the illusion that they are better for the environment is BS. The initial footprint from making the batteries and the thing nobody talks about is lithium mines straight up poison the ground. I guess atleast it's not the air right

    • @oross99

      You're so wrong with Li footprint vs diesel emission
