Nikken said the machine can be charged overnight with a 100V charger or in two hours with 200V charging system.  It said the machine will operate for between 2 and 4 hours on a full charge, depending on application.

“The Nikken Rental Group will continue to promote sustainable development by introducing environmentally friendly products through rentals”, said the company, “We will contribute to the realisation of a ‘recycling-oriented society’.”

Bobcat launched the E10e following the 2019 Bauma exhibition.
