At The Utility Expo 2021 in Louisville, three of our favorite Volvo enthusiasts visited our booth to test drive our ECR25 Electric excavator and L25 Electric wheel loader. So what did they think?

First up, Juan Ibarra of Discovery’s Gold Rush got an up-close look at the ECR25 Electric excavator. Because the machine operates so similarly to its diesel counterpart, Juan quickly felt confident to take it for a test drive of his own. See what he had to say about the electric power and performance compared to diesel.

Next up, always-entertaining LetsDig18 and Dirt Perfect participated in a fun electric excavator challenge we set up for them — as you can guess, it got competitive. And thanks to the machine’s indicator, we had a definitive winner.

Always eager to try anything new, the two operators headed over to the L25 Electric wheel loader test drive area for a quick machine walkaround followed by a spin of their own. Hear what they had to say.

A lot of people say “seeing is believing,” but with the smooth, quiet performance of an all-electric machine, we oftentimes hear “feeling is believing” — and we couldn’t agree more.
