I tested a 55,000-pound electric excavator. New ways to power off-road machines, which mostly run on diesel, could cut about 3 percent of U.S. carbon emissions.

    I’m guessing you don’t actually work on the sites. Generators are often in containers and not necessarily obvious, or out of the way. Depends on the site and what the job is, though.

    In general, a site would prefer to have a proper connection (cheaper), but more often than not it’s not available.
