And here’s a nice round up of what farmers can currently get in the way of electric equipment. Most of it’s smallish & the author notes: “The electric future will make its way to Australian farms, but anyone expecting a diesel-free paddock by the end of the decade is probably in for a rude shock. The ag sector still sits well behind passenger cars, trucks and even construction equipment when it comes to electrification – and for good reason.
Australian farms are enormous, the climate is often brutally hot and dry, and operations run long hours, often through the night. It’s not uncommon to put a tractor to work for 12 hours straight, which is why battery technology has struggled to crack the local ag sector. So far, it’s largely limited to electric UTVs [Utility Task Vehicles], with no proper electric tractors available here… yet.”
