Leveraging the success of the Ranger XP Kinetic, Polaris launched its first all-electric utility vehicle purpose-built for heavy-duty applications at the ARA Show.
The Pro XD Full-Size Kinetic gets its electric drivetrain from electric powersports manufacturer Zero Motorcycles and boasts the same 1,250-pound cargo and 2,500-pound towing capacity as a full-size gas or diesel Pro XD UTV.
Its 14.9 kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motor produce 110 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of instant torque. It has a range of up to 45 miles. Polaris says through its data and research, this range matched average daily jobsite use while keeping battery costs contained.
The Pro XD is factory set at 25 mph, but the speed can be limited down to 5 mph or up to 40 mph to meet jobsite requirements. Two drive modes – Standard and Eco – are available, with Eco Mode capable of capturing more energy from regenerative braking.
What sets the Pro XD Kinetic apart from the consumer-focused Ranger XP Kinetic is its durability, serviceability and safety features. “Our product is designed specifically for the jobsite with safety in mind,” says Polaris Director of Business Development Kyle Crosley. “You’ll see in features like our beacon light, reverse beeper, horn, lower top speed and speed limiting options.” Additional safety features include orange seatbelts, vehicle decals and optional lighting accessories.
