I'd be curious as to the distance you can get off the batteries.
Electric cars currently are getting around on average 40 - 50 miles off a charge, but some cases have pushed it to 80 - 100, but they are rare.
Cars are heavier which will help the distance for quads, but it would all depend on the batteries as to the distance. which is what I care about more. For most people riding an afternoon, a ev quad would be great.

Sorry, that wasn't me.
We have Polaris quads but haven't taken them out for over a year.

Somewhere it said run time was about 2 hours on the batteries. I guess that means that in two hours you need to be back to a charger. That's not a very long ride, in time or distance. I can easily ride for one hour just cruising around the countryside where I live.

Ken, I did live in Folsom.
We moved to Lincoln about a year ago.
We should have waited another year for the market to drop more.
