1. An electric aerial work platform suitable for all-terrain outdoor use, comprising:
a frame equipped with at least two front wheels and at least two rear wheels allowing the translation of the aerial work platform along the ground;
a working platform;
a lifting mechanism which supports the working platform, the lifting mechanism being mounted on the frame;
at least one first electric motor adapted to provide driving power used to move the aerial work platform along the ground;
at least one second electric motor adapted to provide driving power used to operate the lifting mechanism of the working platform,
at least one rechargeable electric battery arranged to power the at least one first and the at least one second electric motor,
wherein:
driving power for moving the aerial work platform along the ground is always provided exclusively by the at least one first electric motor, and
driving power for actuating the lifting mechanism of the work platform is always provided exclusively by the at least one second electric motor; and
the aerial work platform further comprises:
a front axle equipped with the two front wheels and a rear axle equipped with the two rear wheels, at least one of the axles being a transmission axle which is adapted to transmit the driving force of the at least one first electric motor to the corresponding wheels,
at least one single-phase charger adapted to recharge the at least one rechargeable electric battery by connection to a single-phase power supply network; and
a location arranged to removably mount a power generator, the aerial work platform being adapted to connect the power generator to at least one of the at least one single-phase charger when the power generator is removably mounted in the location, thereby allowing the battery to be recharged by the power generator,
wherein the electric aerial work platform is designed to function both when the power generator is and is not mounted in the location and connected to the at least one of the at least one single-phase charger.
