    Default Polaris Ranger EV

    Been thinking about an Electric Ranger. Does anyone have first hand experience?
    Pros? Cons. ?
    Real world mileage expectation on a full charge?
    This would be for deer and turkeys in the upstate. No swamps or much mud.
    Definitely some hills.
    Thanks

    Never been on or seen one but I hunted with a guy in Canada that has one at his farm in Wisconsin. He had nothing good to say about his. Made several comments about it leaving him stranded.

    We have a few of them. They are good. Have had them for about 5 years. Long lasting on a charge. Plenty of power, especially in low range. And fast on high speed.

    Eclectic buggies are eclectric. You don't buy them to run forever. You buy them to be quiet. You get stranded once and realize it's limits. Pretending it's anything different than what it really is is stupid. I've been places and done things on my club cart that most of y'all wouldn't do on your side by side

    What HS said! Buddy of mine owns a Tesla S and is bad ass---but, he showed up at the tennis courts yesterday in a Tahoe. Asked him if his batter was shot just kiddin until he said WTF do you think. Called dealer in Charlotte and they don't take phone call, makes and online Appt so they wifi-ed the car and said nothing was wrong with it so they would not send anybody down. Told him it was a charger issue. Still no one on a phone. I told him to tweet up Elon. He didn't laugh.

    You feeling attacked?

    America was built with gas and diesel, hippie.

    Go back to California and take your cute EV with you.

    All this talk about golf carts.

    Do you have to wear those funny looking shoes and a glove when you drive you EV?

    Advisable to store evs separate from everything else you own
