Executive Summary

Diesel mining trucks are huge polluters and expensive to run. Electric mining trucks use regenerative braking on downhill runs to charge themselves, nearly eliminating fuel costs.

The Gravity Battery Concept

In many mines, the truck goes up empty and comes down heavy with ore. This allows the electric motor to generate massive amounts of electricity on the descent, sometimes generating more energy than it used to go up. It is the perpetual motion machine of physics, made real.

Ventilation Savings

Underground mines spend millions pumping fresh air to clear diesel fumes. Electric equipment produces zero exhaust, drastically reducing ventilation costs and improving worker health. This secondary saving often exceeds the fuel saving.

Remote Operations

Electric drivetrains are easier to automate. Fully autonomous electric haulers are already operating in Australia. EV.NET tracks the heavy machinery OEMs (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Sandvik) leading this transition.

Strategic Opportunity

Own the Digital Infrastructure

As the market for Mining matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
