Re: Electric tower cranes
I watched the video, but it's completely irrelevant - in our world - as it doesn't tell you anything about the cranes or how the batteries get charged!
Are they using an E7 tariff for recharging? or trucking in replacement cubes on a daily basis?
Is there any regenerative braking on the cranes? (every little helps...)
