The transition also passes from the countryside where electric vehicles are slowly appearing more and more; concrete, as demonstrated also by the American Soletrac which has officially opened sales of the new e70N tractors . It is a new generation model recommended by the producer for vineyard care, totally electric and strong with its 52 kW which give it the right power to operate on steep terrain. It serves & quot; unfortunately & quot; someone to drive it, we are not at the level of the startup Monarch which has promised a fully autonomous and connected tractor within the year.

Four-wheel drive and a respectable autonomy, depending on the load Soletrac in fact speaks of about 8 hours of operation with charged batteries and a minimum of 4 hours in case of maximum load of the vehicle. For most farmers demanding have even thought of a battery pack replacement system sold separately but at a high price, even $ 18,000 more; on the final bill.

Make it more sustainable this sector too is not; simple given the size of the vehicles and the needs; at stake, however, there is the advantage of reduced mobility; on the territory that eliminates the difficulty; to reach the recharging points: in fact, one must necessarily have one's own network or wallbox available when returned to the base. Charging times vary from 8-10h with a 220V to 6 hours with an 8kW photovoltaic system.


Three of these e70Ns have already been; delivered to as many realities; Californians, in fact, have been plowing their land for a month in silence and without emission of exhaust gases. However, all those who will be interested in the idea will have to wait a few months, Soletrac speaks of actual shipments from the first part of 2022 and a price set at 74,999 dollars . There is still no talk of a commercialization in our continent but we are sure that other similar solutions will soon arrive to tempt the most entrepreneurs; daring of the sector.
