        hahaha guess it boils down to that 😂

        but I was specifically wondering if they built the vehicle with a charger and ended up never using it, to their own surprise. or if they knew they’d (almost) never have to charge it

          Must have a cable somewhere as a backup otherwise you’d need a full battery replacement should it ever be discharged.

      Gonna go ahead and guess that when designing a 110 ton mega dump truck things are probably pretty front loaded on the planning side of things.
