Zero Emission Sweeping
RAVO ElectricR5e & E2 battery sweepers
Full shift sweeping with zero tailpipe emissions and a fraction of the noise. The R5e is the all-electric 6.5 yd³ R5, with the same wander hose and third broom options for vac and weed work, and the E2 is the electric version of the compact R2.
Electric that works a full shift
R5e: the electric R5
Same 6.5 yd³ stainless hopper and 160 gal water tank as the diesel R5, powered by a 120 kWh, 480 V LiFePO4 battery with regenerative braking and up to 50% lower maintenance cost.
E2: compact and electric
The electric R2: 2 m³ hopper, 13,000 m³/h suction and a choice of 48 or 64 kWh battery, with a swappable battery option for back-to-back shifts.
Quiet enough for early mornings
The R5e runs at 64 dB outside the cab, so early-morning downtown routes and late shifts are realistic. Pre-heat or cool the cab while it charges.

Common questions
Which RAVO sweepers are electric?
Two: the R5e, the all-electric version of the 6.5 yd³ R5, and the E2, the electric version of the compact R2.
Will an electric sweeper last a full shift?
Yes. RAVO’s battery management is built for full shift autonomy on both the R5e and the E2, and the E2 offers a swappable battery.
How do you charge the R5e?
On a Level 2 AC station (208-240 V single phase, 40 A, J1772 plug, 8 kW minimum) or a 50 kW DC fast charger.
What is the battery warranty?
8,000 hours or 5 years on the R5e battery, and 3 years or 4,000 hours on the E2 battery.
Can our city buy on contract?
Yes. RAVO and Scarab are both on Sourcewell and the Minnesota State Contract, so cities, counties and schools can buy without going out for bids.
Are there grants for street sweepers?
Often, yes. Sweepers that keep sediment and pollutants out of storm sewers can qualify for stormwater (MS4) and clean water funding. Jet Line builds a free funding guide for your city that lists the programs that fit.
What warranty comes with the RAVO Electric?
RAVO electric sweepers carry the RAVO general warranty plus long battery coverage: 8,000 hours or 5 years on the R5e battery, and 3 years or 4,000 hours on the E2 battery.
Can we try one before we buy?
Yes. We bring a sweeper to your town and run your own streets, curbs and leaves with your operator in the seat.
