It’s no different than why it will be a generation or more before things like excavators, dump trucks etc. Will be EV if ever

The torque and power required is just too much. Big 300+ excavators are just screaming when you’re really into the mess digging hard pan, moving rocks etc. There’s no way in hell you could create a machine that made any sort of sense or had any long term efficacy. Time is money in the construction industry and you can’t be swapping batteries or taking down time to charge.

Same goes for these electric semis etc. The fuel savings are being negated by the downtime you lose in charging
