that thing must way a ton to be able to move snow that easily. I'm curious to know how the onboard charging works.

 

Only thing else besides the snow blower that would be nice would be a salt spreader for sidewalks.

It looks like the frame is heavy square tube with heavy gauge sheet steel panels. With the batteries and motor and all that, it probably weighs as much as a lawn tractor. The "on-board charging" is just a smart battery charger bolted to the frame and hard-wired in.

 

Found this a couple pages away from thefirst vid:

Sweet!! You could set it with a pre programed path to go out every hour and plow, then for huge storms, it could handle them. Totally amazing.

 

This would be handy. Have it go out after so many inchs and bam cleans it all up. Could always have that thing make snow piles in your yard or whatever with that 6 wheel drive so you dont have to worry about it piling up on the side of your driveway.

 

Also, dd anyone else think of battlebots when they saw this thing? That old tv show was awesome. Oh, and when i saw the picutres and it said 50" blade i was like no way... then when i saw the video and its size i was like oh damn.
