I bought a container full of Chinese electric excavators. Here's what showed up


This isn’t exactly my first time dropping a container full of Chinese electric vehicles in the yard and cracking it...

In case you’re wondering how I got here, it all started with a need for an electric wheel loader – a type of articulating tractor that is useful for a wide range of land managing tasks like digging, loading, hauling, trenching, towing, and more. As it turns out, there actually are a few smaller articulated wheel loaders available for these types of homesteaders and landowners – folks who don’t really need a $50,000 diesel Bobcat like you’d see on a contractor’s job site. So I repeated the process but for excavators this time, working with a suitable factory to improve their machines to my ideal design intended to better serve North American users.
