World First Mass-Produced Electric Excavator Unveiled: 71 kWh Battery, 8-Hour Operation, with Maintenance and Fuel Costs Reduced by Up to 90% Annually
On August 20, CASE announced the launch of the world’s first mass-produced electric excavator, the 580EV. It features the same loading size, digging specifications, and digging force as the four-wheel-drive diesel-powered 580SN, but with an 80 kW electric engine and a 400-volt, 71 kWh lithium battery. The fully charged battery provides up to 8 hours of operation.
The CASE 580EV uses the PowerDrive transmission system, with hydraulic pumps powering the loader, excavator, and steering systems. This setup minimizes energy consumption and enhances performance in loading applications.
In addition, the 580EV is equipped with CASE features such as ProControl oscillation damping, PowerLift/PowerBoost, and electronic hydraulic controls, which enhance precision and ease of use at the job site.
According to CASE's official report, compared to diesel-powered vehicles, the electric excavator can save up to 90% annually on maintenance and fuel costs. The official price information has not yet been disclosed.
