New Polaris Utility Vehicle with Lithium-Ion Technology
Polaris® Industries Inc. (NYSE:PII), a leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles, has announced one of the first vehicles resulting from Polaris’ acquisition from Brammo Inc., the RANGER EV Li-Ion Polaris Pursuit® Camo.
The offering is a first in the off-road industry, the RANGER EV Li-Ion Polaris Pursuit Camo, which delivers more than three times the total battery lifespan of traditional acid batteries and more than twice the range on one charge (up to 50 miles*) to ensure the vehicle spends more time in use.
Due to having fewer, lighter weight Lithium-Ion Batteries, the vehicle is 462 lbs./210 kg lighter and accelerates faster than Polaris’ lead-acid battery option. To complement the Lithium-Ion battery technology, the pure electric RANGER EV Li-Ion Polaris Pursuit Camo features a refined electrical architecture and a single 48-volt, high-efficiency, AC-induction motor.
The driver can select from three modes of operation: High for everyday use, Low for hard work and Max Range for greatest distance. The new system also features a Battery Management Controller which continuously monitors battery usage for a more accurate representation of battery life.
A Vehicle Control Module (VCM) allows for a new digital gauge with speedometer and improved accessory integration. Accessories such as the Electronic Power Steering kit and Polaris Interactive Digital Display are now easier to install. The vehicle also is equipped with on-vehicle diagnostics for easier servicing.
