Polaris goes electric

[jhurkot]

Nothing with electric. Guess it’s gonna be December.

But that will be okay because they will have electric turbine blades on the wings to charge the batteries when flying. It a new science, I think they call it perpetual motion.

At 500 miles per hour at 37,000 feet, better be some tough dam blades!

Maybe they planned to and the unreliable supply chain hit them. It would be great to have units to sell as soon as they make the release.

I know theres a ton of haters, but honestly, this has some pretty insane potential. I get it doesn't work for crazy long rides, but as long as it could last a full day riding id love not to have all the maintenance. This would make one hell of a good rock crawler. For farmers doing tasks its always annoying to have to start and stop machines as you tend to fences etc, normally they arent more than a few miles away from home too, plug it in and not worry about it not starting etc.

Only big concern for me would be sending a stick through the battery... Lithium fires arent something to joke about. And it seems like it might be a bit fat. 1700ish lbs is a lot.

Yeah, I am going to be using it for farm chores. The range should be plenty for us as all our land is in a 3 mile radius. I’m sure the battery is well protected with a heavy duty skid plate. Small battery was $30k and big battery was $37k.

Very cool buggy, I’m anxious to hear your progress with it.

I just built one and sent it too my dealer, but says there sold out on site.

I’m not sure what time they were sold out but it was probably within a few hours.

Ya I’m sure there will be aftermarket companies making good battery protectors and such for them, be a cool unit for your use, interested to see how she works out

Fawk 37k.

The EV utv vehicles have been around for a while. A lot of US deer hunters use them.

Big tax right off!

Same price as 2000L of roundup.

Sounds like a pretty slick setup for you honestly. Yeah the skid plate would be a need if it was me and they weren't already well protected. Maybe even lean towards metal vs UMHW, maybe metal with teflon on it or something. Will be very interested to hear how it works out as well. Honestly, this could have some huge potential to keeping our riding area's with noise pollution.

Update...

Are you surprised? I bet they don’t ship FA until the new year or spring
