Reliable Battery Power
The Bobcat electric excavator lineup delivers all the benefits of owning and operating an electric-powered compact excavator without sacrificing performance. We’ve turned the concept of reliable battery power into a proven game changer in the compact equipment industry.
Featuring state-of-the-art, lithium-ion battery technology, the E10e, E19e and E32e perform as well – or better – than their diesel-powered equivalents, providing the same power, and near-instantaneous torque. The battery systems deliver high-energy density, long service life and require no routine maintenance. The result is strong breakout forces, smooth operator control functions and loads of workgroup power. The batteries provide about four hours of continuous runtime, or between six and eight hours of runtime using breaks to recharge.
Hydraulic Power
The performance of our advanced hydraulic systems already set Bobcat apart.
With battery power, the E10e, E19e and E32e take hydraulic performance to a new level. The excavators’ electric motor delivers full torque at all rpm ranges, resulting in smooth hydraulic control. Under load, power supplied to the hydraulics remains more consistent, which results in precise control of all workgroup functions. These battery-electric excavators deliver power equivalent to their diesel counterparts, but with immediate and consistent torque that can only be generated with electric power.
The Battery Power Advantage - Lower Operation Costs
The electric power needed to recharge the battery system costs a fraction of diesel, and these highly efficient excavators are built with fewer parts and fluids, which significantly reduces maintenance and repair costs, as well as work time lost to maintenance and repairs. The lithium-ion batteries require no routine maintenance and include built-in protection against overcharging.
Operators will pay a fraction of the cost to power these machines for one hour compared to their diesel-powered counterparts. The hourly “fuel” savings multiplied over a year - or even a week – will make a huge difference to your bottom line.
Battery Management System
The Battery Management System protects the lithium-ion battery, extends battery life and optimizes power usage for highly efficient operations. This system monitors the battery and will de-rate or shut down the excavator to prevent damage to the battery.
The E32e Battery System
The E32e is powered by a reliable and efficient lithium-ion battery that provides 45 kWh of capacity. The battery supplies power to an electric motor that drives a variable displacement hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump pressurizes hydraulic fluid for operation of the excavator’s workgroup functions, attachments and tracks. The lithium-ion battery also supports an independent 12-volt battery system that powers the 5-inch display, telematics, work lights and other controls.
- A convenient, on-board charger capable of receiving a common electrical connection of 240 volts, supports a full recharge in eight hours.
The Battery Power Advantage - Low Noise
Having a Bobcat electric compact excavator in your fleet can create new business opportunities. These low, noise, zero-emission machines can work, both indoors and out, where other excavators are off limits.
The E10e, E19e and E32e generate a fraction of the noise of their diesel-powered equivalents. They can be operated at all hours of the day, even in dense urban areas where noise levels can limit work hours and throw you off schedule. Work throughout the day or night with minimal disturbance on or around the worksite.
The Battery Power Advantage - Zero Emissions
Producing no emissions, the E10e, E19e and E32e can quickly tackle tough indoor and outdoor jobs – jobsites where the alternative is intensive and costly manual labor. These machines can also generate new business among a growing number of private companies, government agencies and individuals who choose to support eco-friendly construction practices and a more sustainable future. Government agencies and businesses are increasingly adopting environmental, social and governance principles that give priority to sustainable business practices.
Battery System Warranty and Machine Warranty
We’ve backed our state-of-the-art, rechargeable energy storage system with a warranty many competitors can’t touch. The system is backed with a five-year or 2,500-hour warranty for unbeatable protection.
The E10e, E19e and E32e also come with a two-year or 2,000-hour machine warranty, whichever comes first.
Motion Alarm and Beacon Light
The standard motion alarm (audio signal) activates when the excavator is traveling. The E10e, E19e and E32e also feature a standard beacon light on the top of the canopy. The beacon emits a bright orange strobe light whenever the excavator is turned on. The E10e and E32e are also equipped with a horn for added operational awareness.

Access to the control pattern selector is easier than ever. The easy-access location lets you choose between ISO and standard patterns without leaving the operator’s seat. No keys or special tools are required.
Two-Speed with Auto Shift Travel
Maneuver faster with standard two-speed travel. The quicker you can move on the job site, the faster you can complete your work. For work on large job sites, two-speed travel increases your productivity all day long. Select low range for pushing and dozing and high range for increased job site mobility.
Auto-shift travel shifts the E32e out of high range and back automatically, offering superb travel performance without having to manually downshift. It automatically transitions the travel motors to and from high range, giving you greater tractive effort with no manual shifting. A directional lug track also provides a smoother ride and less vibration when traveling.
Integrated Rear Counterweight
The integrated rear counterweight lowers the center of gravity, further enhancing the stability of the undercarriage design. Operators can dig and slew with more confidence, improving digging performance.
Conventional Tail Swing
Compared to their minimal or zero tail swing counterparts, conventional tail swing models typically deliver the greatest lift capacity in the Bobcat® excavator lineup. Conventional tail swing excavators have a narrower stance (width) for improved access through doorways, gates, property lines or other restrictions.
Integrated Lift Eye
The standard lift eye gives you a convenient method for handling objects or moving them in and out of the trench.
Standard LED Work Lights
The E19e and E32e feature robust lighting with two LED work lights mounted on the top front of the canopy, an LED work light on the top rear of the canopy and a boom-mounted LED work light.
Blade Float
The standard blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input for simplified grading and leveling - and great results.
Advanced Hydraulics - More Usable Power
High-efficiency, torque-limiting piston pumps in the hydraulic system match force to demand, continuously responding to loads and delivering more usable power.
