It has four operating modes - Hybrid, Pure Electric, ICE direct and Charging mode. In Hybrid mode, both the diesel engine and electric power is used to propel the vehicle. In Pure Electric mode, the tractor runs solely on batteries. In ICE direct mode, the tractor operates on the internal combustion engine alone. Finally, there are three charging modes - regeneration, ICE and plug-in mode.

As farmers enjoy free/subsidized electricity, tractors like these may find some traction and it all boils down to cost.

Slight correction, free electricity is given only to pump sets for irrigation and the frequency and voltage for such connection is unspeakable. I don't know who is eligible for free / subsidized domestic electricity connection.
