[@InLineDiesel6]

I sense the question was somewhat rhetorical but regardless, you are in luck. I'm not a farmer but I am one of those electrical guys. To kind of answer your question realizing there are many variables involved to make a finite answer, here is a very basic idea. Five hundred horsepower is equal to 372.85kWh of power per hour. Running the harvester on electric for 16 hours would consume 5,965.6 kWh of electrical power. To replace that power in the battery pack (that doesn't yet exist) would take a 220 volt 50 amp charger 543 hours of charge time. If you had the electrical infastructure that could support a Telse Level 3 Supercharger (it needs 480 volt feed), you could recharge the imaginary battery in 15 hours. It doesn't seem you have the hours in a day to pull this off. Since the power needs to be generated somewhere, the best solution is to simply use diesel in your farming machinery and skip the middle guy. It is a shame the politicians who pushed electrification didn't consult with engineers first. I've been involved in several electric vehicles programs during my automotive career and every project, albeit successful, was shelved because 1. making more than one EV was going to be difficult and 2. no recharging infastructure. Then EVs became political and we can all see the mess that made.

[@jayjaygee3306]

Spot on. Politicizing it all doesn't do anything to change the physics of it. It's all about how much power can you store in a cubic foot, how long does it take to get it there, and what are the energy losses involved in doing it. A tank of diesel carries MUCH more power per cubic foot than any battery pack out there today. Batteries and chargers may get there someday, but they aren't there yet.

@@Mazel_Tov_888 if you expect John Deere to come out with a x9 with a 50ft head replacement, it's not going to happen. Mike expectation is we will see autonomous drones, running from mapping from planting, that might be electric powered with a 12 ft head. You might need two maintenance workers instead of three drivers. And the technology will get one maintenance worker to look at the three of them. And instead of a massive tractor putting an 80 ft air drill, we will get smaller tractors pulling smaller air drills, and maintenance workers look after them. The replacement won't be a one for one it will be a one for many, but the total number of workers will keep decreasing.

That’s because you haven’t talked to the guys in the ag industry working on electric vehicles for use in the fields.

We’re finding several applications where they should work pretty well in the US. Farmers in India are begging for them, they have surprisingly good access to 3 phase power in rural India, better access to electricity than they have for diesel.
