There is a look at four electric SXS/UTVs. What are your thoughts? Please leave a COMMENT below.
He’s what I think. With the push for electric vehicles, I believe we will also see that push into the SXS/UTV market. I believe there is probably more of a market for the UTV than there is for the sport SXS. There is a significant gap in the ability of these machines to travel long distances. On top of that, where are you going to charge them? I think they have a long way to go before this is something I would consider.

A look at the 2022 Can-Am Defender Lineup
Here are some comments from over at RZR Nation:
Jose Arturo
I dont know how i feel with those batteries going in flame going down hill or if a piece of wood pierce the batteries 🔥 water gests inside while mudding ⚡️ ☠️
Hunter XJ
Jose Arturo I guess you haven’t seen all the current sxs that burn down have ya lol.
Cephus Hogan
Must be a Biden buggy😂
Brick Jf
Ok so we’re just back to Jeeps now!
Kelvin Berg
Batteries are incapsulated. Goodbye snorkels. Goodbye maintenance.
Will Buccieri
Kelvin Berg i work on electric motors all day, Everything needs maintenance and all mechanical parts fail eventually
Wheel bearings and suspension components wear out
Motors are not waterproof and electrical components fail or fault more often than mechanical parts
James Baker
Kelvin Berg Good Bye all day rides.
Rzr Georgia
Goodbye petrol stations, engine,starter, transmission, exhaust, oil and filters, voice
Nick Feller
Rzr Georgia goodbye reliability. Not that we ever had reliability to begin with!
Cassie Goldgehn
I’m excited to see where electric SxS’s go. I enjoy watching technological growth.
Nick Feller
If I can’t hear it, I don’t want it
Brandon L Johnson
Dem prices 😮💨
Anthony Conley
No thank you
Cody Unger
No
Brandon Minick
What about the Brawley with 400hp
May be an image of car, jeep and text
Marc Hom
Brandon Minick 50 k ?
Brandon Minick
Marc Hom it’s 5k more than that with an extended battery!
Marc Hom
Brandon Minick
Brandon Minick
Marc Hom I’m staying with gas until we have no choice but it’s inevitable.
Marc Hom
Brandon Minick I don’t think inevitable. There are just as many drawbacks to electric as fuel . Such as cold weather and electric don’t mix very well . Ask a Tesla owner in the northern climates .
Jeff Bertoni
Keep it
Alain Moran
So charging stations on the trails? Well guess get ready for the golf course.
Greg Flack
A)Id rather someone bring me gas instead of a generator WITH GAS
B )Batteries are heavy and charge don’t last
Kirk Sachs
We are 2-3 major technical innovations away from a practical electric sport sxs. Not worth even considering it yet.
Tom Sardo
Kirk Sachs it would be great now for a lot of people, we both know most don’t even get over 50 miles in a weekend hahahaha.
Janet Waisanen
Kenneth Waisanen
Shane DeLawder
Technology isn’t there yet and ma never be.
Rod Eggleston
Junk keep it
Tom Sardo
That’s pretty cool, would be a much simpler drive line as you only need 2 motors and 4 axle shafts. No belts or gears to deal with. Range isn’t as big an issue as most don’t drive 100+ miles in a day or even weekend. For an around the farm/property … See more
Brandon Minick
Tom Sardo brawley has 4 motors so no axles or any of that stuff to fail.
Jeff Gilroy
Brandon Minick also like $50k MSRP but they probably tear it up. My dealer was saying they get 200 miles on a charge but I bet that’s stretching it.
Brandon Minick
Jeff Gilroy I just want to know how they keep 400hp from breaking itself.
Tom Sardo
Brandon Minick I saw that but it’s also 50k, I was thinking more affordable/practical to appeal to more people.
Like for people who can ride from their house or a place that has power. Long as you can get 50 miles per charge that would work for a … See more
Tom Sardo
Brandon Minick direct drive to the wheel. Nothing to break and that’s peak motor power.
Tom Sardo
Jeff Gilroy realistically I’d say 80% of users would be fine with 50 miles of hard use per charge.
John Befort
Brandon Minick so 4 motors to fail instead?
Jeff Gilroy
Tom Sardo yeah I’d probably agree with you. I’d need a bit more range for what I do.
I’d probably change my mind and sell my soul if I drove one though. They’ve got to be fast as heck.
Brandon Minick
John Befort motors are such a simple machine that it makes them reliable by nature.
Kai Herrmann
John Befort i wouldn’t worry about that. How many years do your electric motor ceiling fans last? 10? 20? Electric motors are very, very reliable and long lasting.
Brandon Minick
Tom Sardo brawley is saying 200 mile range
Kyle Rishor
They weigh more than a car😮
Carl Sykes
May be an image of text that says ‘7:16 M Wed Feb Priced at $34,950.00* *Destination and preparation not included 82% Bosco Blue Atomic Green Brawley™ by the numbers* HORSEPOWER 303 lb-ft TORQUE TQU(Ib-ft) (Ib-ft) 360 MILES ON CHARGE (est.) 140’
Wesley Kemp
Junk
Carl Sykes
Higher priced is fully enclosed with heat and AC
William Kahler
Maybe this is Robby Gordons next ponzi scheme lol!
Kai Herrmann
I want one. No engine noise, no cvt, heat and AC, tons of torque for rock crawling. Too bad they’re going to cost as much as a Jeep.
Hunter XJ
Cannot wait to see the electronic world play out, more power, less bullshit. It’s gonna be a good time 🤘
Here are some comments that were received or at Teryx Nation:
Aaron Corro
42 mile range!?
Ha. That’s a joke…right!?
Ken Winter
Aaron Corro how many miles would it get if ya put tracks on it…… 20
No thanks
Aaron Corro
Ken Winter
20 if you’re lucky!!!
John Devine
Is this the Speed UTV everyone’s talking about?
Randy Krauthamer
Idiotic
James L Syfrett
how this thing going to handle water and mud and other cases rocky tarrain
Joe Allbritten
Lithium Ion battery gets damaged and the thing catches on fire!
Bob Logan
Should be fun on a 100,mile ride…wherr a real teryx would have to tow you home
Daniel Turnage
Some of these guys would still think their hot and loud 😂
Jeff Mettille
Daniel Turnage true
Matt Selph
Yall busy talking shit about these but these are just the first of their kind and already doubling and quadrupling the torque of your SXS… I prefer gas to electric but as batteries become more advanced/durable, electric motors are superior… in EVERY application. Look around you.. electric motors everywhere.
Anthony Deeds
Matt Selph coincidence that you have a , “let’s get vaccinated” banner? Maybe, probably not, but maybe.
Matt Selph
Anthony Deeds that’s done as a joke… lol I’m not vaccinated. #pureblood
Anthony Deeds
Matt Selph, your humor is appreciated and therefore makes you an exalted member of this group. That said, the electric motor has a longggg way to go. Unless they make major improvements to longevity, and timely, I’m not quite sold.
Anthony Deeds
I’m am though, extremely hopeful 🤷♂️ hell, I’m all for it.
Matt Selph
Anthony Deeds I’m not sold either… but the improvements are happening. I’m still putting dinosaur juice in all my motors..
William Smith Dawson
Matt Selph everyday i drive a Tesla very powerful and stage 2 at home while I sleep.300 miles a day. Never had to go to a supercharger yet
Jason R. Swarm
The way we ride we would be electrocuted the first time out. We play in the mud too much for that.
Donaldson Errick
Jason R. Swarm I’d run out of juice to quick crawling on rocks
JT Nicholson
Donaldson Errick me too
Blaze Kaltenbaugh
It would have to be real water tight for me to trust it after seeing all those flooded teslas burn.
Aj Learn
Don’t roll it. Wieght flatten ya
Aj Learn
These are suppose to be off road toys. Not freaking cars. Costs are already ridiculous
Douglas Snider
You do realize that it takes fossil fuels to produce all the components of these electric toys right?
Including the plastic cases the batteries use.
Mankind can’t exist without petroleum and coal.
China knows it… Russia knows it… India knows it…seems the entire world knows it except for the woke stunning and brave crowd.
For every coal mine closed in the United States the other countries are opening up three new plants.
Wake up and smell the gas fumes folks!
Solar panels are maintained by gas powered pressure washers to clean the dirt off the panels…panels made with petroleum products.
Windmills use 50-60 gallons of oil to to lubricate the inner workings in each windmill and needs to be changed at regular intervals.
We are light years away from a futuristic Jetsons scenario..
But don’t let the facts stop you from clicking those ruby slippers together while chanting….”there’s no fuel like renewable fuel” three times!
Hell, it could work, worth a shot I guess. 🤪
Joseph Casanova
Y’all better enjoy the mud holes now hearing all the motors, soon it’ll be so quiet. All ya gonna hear is radios and people talking.
Edward Berger
I watched my 2yr old drive his power wheel four wheeler across the house last night and thought to myself , he’ll never grow out of the power wheel stage ,
It’ll be bigger power wheels as he gets older and everything is electric 🤦♂️
150-300 mile range ? Hell we ride 300-500 miles at a time—this would be completely useless…. No charging stations in the middle of no where- besides the electrical grids cant keep up—-complete was of $$$- just more control over us
