EV never has to be recharged... Because it recharges on the way downhill.

"World's largest EV never has to be plugged in" is sufficiently click-baity without being so dumbly self contradicting

More like “never has to stop working to charge”. It is novel that its charging mechanism operates as a function of doing its primary job.

Not novel. I think there was a train somewhere in Africa, that transported some ore from mountain to port. On the way down with ore it charged and uphill it used charge.

Is novel for a dump truck to use this. Of course it’s not a completely new concept entirely.

That’s genius. Who cares if thermodynamics wins, it weighs less on the way up so works out just fine.

Just like the example in TFA.

Reminds me of some guy with a OneWheel that was saying he'd never charged his board in like a thousand miles as his daily commuter.

He lives near the top of a mountain lift, so he takes it home and just runs on pure regen lol.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

So he's just breaking? What a silly thing to claim. I bet he's not even regening a lot. When i ride up a mountain until my battery is down to 40% or so and ride down i regenerate around 1% or something. It might even be in the 0.6% or something

I think it's still pretty cool. Turning potential energy to kenetic

Yeah I was gonna say I'm pretty sure this isn't a single use, disposable vehicle
