Welcome to this episode of "Change for E-VER," featuring Henrik Johansson, Sales Specialist Electrification at Konecranes. This episode focuses on three key truths regarding electric vehicle (EV) operations: the consistent energy consumption advantage of E-VER at any intensity level, the dependency of battery quantity on service hours between charges, and the importance of selecting the right charger size in combination with the correct number of batteries. The central question posed is:
What kind of operation do you run?
Factors influencing energy consumption include frequent high lifting, heavy loads, operation on slopes, long-distance travel, climate conditions, and driver behaviors. The video guides you to helps estimate expected energy consumption.
Operational calculations for electric forklift models are provided:
- E-VER 10-18 ton offers operational times of approximately 4 hours with 1 battery and 8 hours with 2 batteries.
- E-VER 18-25 ton provides operational times of approximately 5.5 hours with 2 batteries and 8 hours with 3 batteries.
The importance of the correct charging setup is key; a 40-kW mobile charger for slow charging and a 150-250 kW fast charger for 24/7 operations, with a local partner's involvement.
This episode stresses the need to assess operation intensity and desired operating duration between charges. The fundamental question remains: "What kind of operation do you run?"
