Polaris EV? Anyone?

[BoneDigger]

Anyone have experience with the new electric Ranger? I looked at one today and it seems pretty sweet. 25mph top end and about a 50 mile range. Cost is $10,500 which is about the same as their EFI Ranger of the same size. I like the idea of no gasoline issues, but I imagine that batteries pose their own problems. I gather it's similar to the Bad Boy Buggy. Any ideas on these?

so since its electric, i guess that means you can use the free electric car handout on it!

thats not very far, does this go down when it comes to climbing hills, wouldnt that take extra juice.

I would suspect that if the ranger is using 4x4 or running at top speeds the range will be less. I would guess maybe in the 30-35 mile range. I'm not sure that I would ever need to go more than 30 miles during a hunt, but it is a consideration.

Not sure about the free electric car thing since it is not street legal.

just bought one. you still have questions. Its awesome so far. It takes 8 - 12v batteries - so battery cost and availability is better.
