FAIL! Bobcats New Electric Skid steer Freezes during demo! 4K

What happens here

Colin continues to discuss the practical aspects of the all-electric Bobcat, including its 5-7 hour run time under heavy use and the charging method via a J1772 plug connected to a 220-volt outlet. He clarifies that the demonstrated S7X is a prototype, while the track loader version (T7X) will be available the following year. The machine's power is equivalent to a 94 horsepower diesel engine, with a total weight of 12,000 pounds, largely due to the battery weight. Stanley humorously notes the machine stopped operating briefly for a 'reset' during the demo.

Goal: Learn about the run time, charging, power, and development status of the all-electric Bobcat.

after how do you recharge it so it uses the j1772 uh charging plug so any es EVS cable you can get on Amazon or the portable charger that we provide with it it's plugs into a 220 volt out Outlet or a uh hardwired box and is this actually available out on the market or is this still in development this is still in development so this is a prototype unit that you see it's a pretty late stage prototype um you know it's not perfect but it's the machine we beat up and test and we figure out anything that we can make better and we get it ready for our customers to enjoy an all electric machine but it's uh it's counterpart the t7x the track loader is going to be available next year all right I'm going to jump in here and interrupt this interview because if you notice the machine is going to stop moving from this point forward and I found out that it had to do some kind of a reset now this is just hilarious cuz I've seen this machine on display now for years and they've talked about about it they pointed at it they say it can do this they say it can do that but the first time I've ever actually seen it moving and grooving lasted about 45 seconds before it stopped moving and grooving so what is the horsepower equivalent of what this machine operates at this operates equivalent on a power scale for the t86 on from a machine standpoint which is I think a 94 horsepower or a 94 horsepower machine yeah so it's a just over 12,000 lb in total weight so you get a lot of digging capability out of this machine oh that weighs ,000 lb yes damn it's all them batteries right it is the batteries it's all that weight and yeah it's it's just fun to drive so I I definitely would encourage if anyone's able to come out to these shows hopefully in the near future we're going to let customers be able to drive this equipment because it's just something you have to be in it's fun for about 45 seconds to to feel the power and feel how much uh how much uh like uh torque it isless torque diing capability but just the Precision of the controls is
