It would just need a 1 mega watt charger to charge up during lunch.
A 1.5 megawatt hour battery would only weigh 400 thousand kilograms and cost around a half million dollars lol.
(If 1 Kg of lithium ion batteries can hold 0.265kwh and $1 buys 3.6 watt hours)
Farming machinery is probably going to continue to be liquid fuel powered.
Then some of these machines only get used for a few weeks a year.
Some machines only stop when they put fuel in them and when they get trucked down the road to the next field.
They have to run nearly 24 hours a day or the crops rot in the field.
