This week on the Construction Genius Podcast, we are having a quick sneak peek into the world of electrical machinery where we discuss the cost difference between electric vehicles and diesel machinery, the replacement and application process, environmental concerns about lithium mining and its current progress, the involvement of heavy machinery in the carbon footprint of the United States, and many more with our guest Raymond Wang.

Starting the conversation, Raymond shares his motive behind focusing on electric vehicles, saying their purpose is to introduce cleaner tools to specific jobs in the industry. Then we hear how they remedy the dissuasion of people from buying electric vehicles due to the upfront cost difference between electric vehicles and traditional machinery. Raymond then explains why they keep their machinery simple and how it helps to keep the cost down and adoption high.

Adopting new technologies might be difficult for some people at first, but with the right guidance, they can fit in with them and continue working. Here, Raymond explains how their labor unions are adopting electric vehicles and how they have faith in transitioning to cleaner technologies. We then pay attention to lithium mining and environmental concerns as it continues to progress in mining accuracy.
