Dodge EV Day 2021

[BigblueC]

This tractor will actually plow for an hour and a half, rake hay for an hour and 45 minutes, and has a 15 mile range.

That's actually impressive. How does it stack up/convert on the hp ratings? Say at the PTO.

With modern batteries, it'll weigh as much as stock, give 6hrs worth of heavy duty work

That's actually not far off from what my 30 hp Kubota will do on a tank. Although my recharge time is much quicker and I'm only dependent on what cans/barrel I can transport.

At some point in the future, tractors will probably be autonomous, will go out in the field on their own, communicate with each other over a mesh network to work together, will be able to continue working at all hours of the day, and return to their charging stations when needed.

I don't particularly want that, but I don't doubt it. These modern machines can already drive/operate on their own with initial input/programing from the operator and just little corrections here and there.

That's actually impressive. How does it stack up/convert on the hp ratings? Say at the PTO.

It has comparable horsepower. The electric motor we got was comparable to what was tested when the tractor was new in the 40s. An agricultural university did a lot of dyno testing and pulling capability testing, so we were able to find non-factory biased data. Factory horsepower was about 18hp with 25ft/lbs of torque with 18 hp available at the PTO. The motor we used is somewhere around 12.5 hp with 60ft/lbs of torque, according to the dyno sheet provided to us by the manufacturer. We geared the motor down by 1.3:1, so we ended up with 16hp with 78 ft/lbs at the PTO. We geared it down so that we wouldn't go 25mph in top gear. I'll attach the poster we used to present it.

That is God awful.
The wheels look incredibly childish, probably would look better in crayon.
The grill/front looks nothing like a 70 which is the ugliest Charger ever made.
Looks like a 1989 Escort with a 80s Ferrari bumper put on.
Why is there such a need by designer's to make a weird car look even more weird.
That airflow looks pretty good, outside. That interior looks like a scaled down home theater. All that glass is making me sweat thinking of all the sun coming through in summer, meanwhile it is about 25°f outside.
All that glass should also be enjoyable when it's all fogged on a 38° day after a 4 day cold snap.

I think that rendering is from some "artist" probably not associated or employed by Mopar. I agree.....this rendering is ugly. I'm sure Mopar will do a great job designing the EV Charger (or whatever car is coming out next)....so it's acceptable to Mopar Nation as the next generation of muscle cars. Mopar wants to continue to be the leader in muscle cars as they were with Hellcat revoltion. I hope so if they want me to buy an EV muscle car. Lol

I think you are right.
I like the Airflow. I would buy one of those gas or electric. Too much windshield, I'm not sure why the windshield needs to come all the way back to above the steering wheel, but they all seem to be going that way. Dash is too Cadillac, with a big Tesla billboard in the middle. Hope they make a old folks dash with less touch screen.
Going to be interesting to say the least. My wife's 2011 Jeep GC has no personality so that appliance theme has been brewing. I feel the Hellcats, scat packs, and such will be the last cars with any soul.
Trucks will no longer be like a good friend. Driving will become like operating your microwave.
