The issue is with the acquisition costs and parts support. In Canada, it's approximately $80 000.00 for a standard 2 ton BYD forklift. We did the math, and these machines will only have a return on investment for operations running 24 hours a day. This brings up the next big issue, the forklift itself. Everyone is focused on the battery and nothing else, but the issue here is that the battery will outlive the forklift, negating any return on investment.
