Polaris launches electric vehicle

Added on 23 June 2010 - 663 views.

The Ranger Electric Vehicle is a proper 4X4 Ranger offroad workhorse that also delivers on the Polaris promise of the best ride on the market

 

Clean, green and almost silent, the Polaris Ranger Electric Vehicle (EV) is great for indoor and outdoor use, perfect around horses, never needs fuel and requires very little maintenance.

With 30hp and a 40km/h top speed, the mid-size Ranger EV has plenty of guts. It operates cleanly and quietly with a 48V AC electric motor. The Alternating Current (AC) is more efficient for low maintenance and extends range, giving high performance.

With an 11.7kW maximum power battery pack and three-mode system, the Ranger EV has the longest range in its class. The rider is able to switch back and forth for maximum power or to achieve up to an 80km range.

The Polaris On Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system automatically engages when you need more forward traction. It reverts back to 2WD when AWD is no longer needed. You can easily switch to one-wheel drive Turf-mode.

The Independent Rear Suspension gives a class-leading smooth ride with 20cm front travel and 23cm rear travel, plus 25cm of ground clearance helps avoid ruts and rocks.

Ranger EV has a higher dump box, with a 226kg capacity, combined with a 567kg towing capacity and Lock & Ride cargo system.

You’ll also get heavy duty front end protection with inset headlights for minimised damage from rock chips and branches, dedicated vehicle tie down points and certified Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS).
