Factors that Influence Vehicle Range
When estimating the distance your Polaris Electric Vehicle (EV) can travel in a single charge, be sure to take into account the following factors:
Terrain
Hill climbs, mud, and sand put more
demand on your vehicle.
Style of Driving
Sporty driving requires
more power than conservative driving.
Weather
Strong headwinds, slippery conditions,
or extreme ambient temperature can decrease driving range and performance.
Payload
Passengers, cargo, or towing places
more demand on your vehicle.
Tire Pressure
Low tire pressure causes increased
drag and demand on your vehicle.
Differential Used
2x4, 4x4, or high/low require
different levels of motor output and energy consumption.
Frequency of Starts and Stops
More energy
is used to accelerate to cruising speed than maintaining cruising
speed.
Accessories
Larger tires, cab heater, lighting,
and audio can increase energy draw from the high-voltage battery pack.
With low loads, smooth terrain, and a conservative driving style, vehicle range will approximate to the following:
Model | Range (on flat ground)* |
---|---|
RANGER XP KINETIC Premium | Up to 45 mi. (72 km) |
RANGER XP KINETIC Ultimate | Up to 80 mi. (129 km) |
*Range estimates based on manufacturer data on typical customer driving usage and conditions. Actual range varies based on conditions such as external environment, weather, speed, cargo loads, rates of acceleration, vehicle maintenance, and vehicle usage. |
