Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

Deer hunting style in my area is a pickup truck pulling a trailer parked on the side of the road.

Polaris all-electric RANGER to have 'dramatically higher' power-to-weight ratio than gas UTVs - Electrek

Deer hunters should love this.

I wish Kubota would come out with an electric RTV

The main issue I see with this UTV is if hunters are in a secluded deer camp with no power say for 1-2 weeks how would you charge this UTV ? How long does the charge last? Our deer camp has wood heat propane lights and NO power..I think makes ford150 model that has some type of generator on they're new trucks but not everyone owns one of those models.

That’s probably more of a fringe case where a gas UTV would be a better choice. My deer hunting is limited to the south and east and I’d wager the overwhelming majority have access to an outlet at night. As long as you can plug in somewhere, the near silent operation combined with no more smelly gas and exhaust fumes would make this a very stealthy hunting machine.

Not really a fringe case many deer camps in northern MI. do not have power.Old school I guess.We hoof it back in by foot a 1/2 mile to mile verses the stealth approach.Nice to get away from the cell phones and the gloom and doom nightly news casts.

1/2 mile must be considered a long distance east of the Mississippi. It is nice to get away from the modern "conveniences" for sure.

Company Argues Its Two-Speed EV Gearbox Is Better Than A Single-Speed

Going from no articulating parts to this potential fail point in an EV would be hard sale to me. Very early Tesla Roadster had two speed transmission of some design.

I am starting to wonder if this EV tax credit may help China companies the most. Already Tesla is selling everything they can build. The Ford F-150 Lighting production will be limited until they build battery factories. China has EV car and battery factories on line already plus they control much of the raw materials needed by EV battery factories.

No thats a old farts hike when you get over 60 if the snows 2 ft deep.

I saw my first Tesla yesterday. A fellow over from Seattle was visiting here in Cheney. It was the sport model. They are much nicer looking, up close, then on their TV commercials. I am very impressed.

Much too low slung to go on my driveway but as long as you don't venture off the asphalt - a fine looking vehicle.
