This massive EV never needs to plug in

Quote
The eDumper's party trick is its weight. As it transports a load of mined rock downhill from the mountainous mining site at which it is located, its regeneration system produces a massive amount of electricity. The truck then uses that energy to go back up the hill for another load. Since it weighs far less with no cargo, it ends up with extra energy at the end of its round trip, even considering the effort it must expend to climb back up the hill.

Use of natural forces, gravity can be your friend. 

Damned clever.

I guess it is similar to wind powering a sail boat.
