This GIANT Electric Mining Truck Charges in Under 30 minutes!

Fortescue, one of the world's largest iron ore producers – a critical material for steel, magnets, batteries, and fertilizers – has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. To achieve this hugely ambitious goal, they enlisted the expertise of the Fortescue WAE engineers (formerly Williams Advanced Engineering) in Oxfordshire. The team were tasked with electrifying Fortescue's massive 221-tonne payload haul trucks, which are now being outfitted with mind-bogglingly big 1.4 MWh batteries. We visited their prototype facility to discover how they're doing it! ‪@fullychargedshow‬ ‪@EverythingElectricShow‬ 00:00 221 Tonne Mining Trucks in Oxfordshire 00:54 Track to Truck! 01:51 Fortescue 03:49 Battery Build 04:20 1.4 MWh Battery 05:31 Pit Lane to Mining Pit... 06:34 Hot temperatures, shocks, vibrations and pot holes 08:31 Battery safety.. 09:00 Charging speed? 10:56 Infinity Train! 11:46 Two worlds colliding Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Support our StopBurningStuff campaign:   / stopburningstuff   Become a Fully Charged SHOW Patreon:   / fullychargedshow   Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Fully Charged newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on Twitter:   / fullychargedshw   Follow us on Instagram:   / fullychargedshow   To exhibit or sponsor, email: [email protected] Everything Electric NORTH, Yorkshire Event Centre - 24th, 25th & 26th May Everything Electric CANADA - Vancouver Convention Centre - 6th, 7th & 8th September Everything Electric SOUTH - Farnborough International - 11th, 12th & 13th October Everything Electric EUROPE - RAI Amsterdam - Date Announcement Imminent
