Where are all of the electric farm tractors, combines, construction equipment, irrigation pumps, stationary engines. There aren’t any-not enough torque in electric engines

Most trains are in fact electric (to wit “hybrid”) because of the enormous torque.

Tesla is about to release their all-electric semi.

There’s an all-electric giant dump truck in use now.

Electric motors have amazing torque. Battery packs are the limiting factor, not torque.

Lack of electric motor torque isn’t the issue for farm equipment.
