Abstract: A battery powered electric excavator includes an undercarriage including left and right crawler tracks. A main frame is mounted on the undercarriage to be pivotable about a vertical pivot axis relative to the undercarriage. An operator's cabin is located on the main frame closer to the forward end than to the rearward end and located to one lateral side of the vertical pivot axis. At least one high voltage battery is located on the main frame rearward of the vertical pivot axis and rearward of the operator's cabin. A primary electric motor is operably connected to the at least one high voltage battery. At least one main hydraulic pump is driven by the primary electric motor. The primary electric motor, the main hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic reservoir are located on the main frame on an opposite lateral side of the vertical pivot axis from the operator's cabin.
