The invention relates to a novel electric road roller and an operation method thereof. The novel electric road roller comprises a left driving wheel and a right driving wheel, and a left wheel hub electromotor and a right wheel hub electromotor which are used for controlling rotating of the left driving wheel and the right driving wheel; and both the left wheel hub electromotor and the right wheel hub electromotor are driven by electric energy provided by a power management system. According to the novel electric road roller and the operation method thereof, a storage battery is used for driving the left wheel hub electromotor and the right wheel hub electromotor respectively, driven of wheel working is realized, a hand shank is used for controlling driving steering, so that operation and steering of the whole novel electric road roller is realized, mechanical devices and hydraulic systems such as engines, clutches, gearboxes, universal gearings, main reducing gears, differential mechanisms, and hydraulic pumps in conventional road rollers are avoided, occurance of mechanical hydraulic failures is reduced, and service life is prolonged. Utilization of electricity utilization off-peak periods in the night is adopted, diversification of electric energy source is realized, dependence on fossil energies such as diesel oil is reduced effectively, working noise is reduced, pollutant discharge is reduced, and maintenance and operation cost is reduced.
