Sustainable Power
Electric heavy machines have always been known for their sustainability due to their extreme efficiency, reduced emissions rate, and lower operating costs. Electric vehicles are also known for their low vibration and quiet power source enabling their users to operate indoors and in noise-sensitive areas. An advantage that allows your operators to have a better work environment.
However, a concern that may arise for new electric vehicle users is whether the Volvo EC230 Electric Excavator can take on the challenging tasks in just one cycle of battery or not. Indeed, it can.
The Volvo EC230 Electric Excavator is armed with a high-capacity battery that allows it to work full shifts. In case your operators forget to fully charge it before the next workday, the machine also has a fast-charging option to ensure that your company’s timelines are met.
Numerous Charging Solutions
Depending on your company’s requirements, Volvo has numerous charging solutions available for the Volvo EC230 Electric Excavator.
The Volvo EC230 Electric Excavator normally comes with a 22 kW charging cable that enables charging via a CEE socket. This type of charging can take between 10 to 12 hours using a 400 V plug.
Next, there’s a 150 kW DC fast charger, which can fully charge your machine in 80 to 90 minutes using a 750 V plug.
A 40 kW portable charger is also available, but it’ll take your machine five to six hours before it fully charges.
Productivity at No Risk
While electric vehicles may be more expensive at first glance, they’re actually much more cost-effective over time. Electric vehicles don’t have engine-related consumables and their batteries are maintenance-free, leading to lower regular maintenance costs for your business.
